From Transport Evolved.

We’re accelerating through the autumn, and like many creators, we’re feeling the squeeze as YouTube keeps shifting the goalposts. That’s why we’re going back to basics: grassroots support from the amazing TE community.

When we launched Patreon in 2015, it was meant to supplement YouTube ads, but today it’s what keeps Transport Evolved independent and ad-free as the value of YouTube advertising has plummeted. Over the next two months, we’re aiming to boost our Patreon support by 20%, with a stretch goal of 40% growth. That will help us cover rising costs, support the team, and keep building the content you love without compromising our voice.

👉 Join Nikki and Kate, for a little impromptu live stream as Nikki sits at one of the most well-covered charging sites for EVs in California!

We’ll explain why YouTube ad revenue is dropping, how it’s affecting everyone, the threat of low-quality AI content, and why you may have noticed random audio-only versions of our shows appearing.

✨ During September and October, if you sign up to support TE from just $1.50 a month, you’ll receive an exclusive digital art piece created by the TE team!

So grab your favorite beverage, join us live, and help us kick off the next chapter of Transport Evolved.
