Pin club[]
For each animal, a pin was released to members of the pin club. This club is open to a limited number of members. [2] This is so they do not over-produce pins and create unnecessary waste.[3] Profits from the pin club go to support the Nerdfighteria community’s efforts to decrease maternal mortality in Sierra Leone. [4] Subscriptions are open for about 72 hours after a new video goes live. New subscribers receive their first pin in the middle of the month, and then keep getting pins whenever a new video goes up.[5] There are three versions of every pin.[6] Each pin also comes with a card that contains facts about that animal.[7]
