Minecraft Far Lands or Bust - Episode 385 - Expecto Patreonum is the three hundred eighty-fifth regular episode of Far Lands or Bust, and the fifty-first episode of Season 5.
==Video Overview==
===Kurt Launching his Patreon===
Kurt leaves the Hidey Hole to a foggy world he accidentally created by hitting 'F' twice at the end of the last episode. The Child's Play Charity fundraiser has reached exactly $8,000. 
Moving to the real topic, Kurt discusses the opening of his Patreon. The first point Kurt makes is that the Child's Play Charity fundraiser is far more important than supporting himself on Patreon. Kurt's second point is that this episode will be the most you will ever hear about Patreon. The goals Kurt has reached so far are future Far Lands or Bust episodes having ads, and Kurt remove ads on all Season 5 episodes. Kurt has also reached the weekly livestream goal. The goal was also reached to remove all Far Lands or Bust ads in the archive. The next milestone of having a podcast is in the future, and that may take consistent pledges to set up.
Kurt set up Patreon because he's been shaky about YouTube advertisements. In June he put out a lot of videos and says that people were worried he would get burnt out like X. Everybody will be benefit from the money on Patreon, and Kurt's channel well grow, and even UHC Season 17 bringing a lot of subscribers and views did not convince Kurt this was the way to go. Fan funding seems to be a wave of the 'future' and talks about a book saying that the first banner ad in 1974 and that advertising has been declining steeply since then. Kurt talks about Twitch and wonders if it has ever run in the black. Kurt is going to keep it off the Far Lands or Bust website and is not going to go nuts with Patreon. Things are only going to get better with the Patreon, and Kurt's going to be doing more things. Kurt hints at the 'stretch goal' at the end of the Patreon.
