title: "Into the Neuvottelija Inner Circle? | Sami Miettinen | Negotiator 198"
summary: "An announcement of under three minutes: Sami Miettinen opens a YouTube membership on the channel. Members get four things — an after-session recorded with the guest of each episode, his own Neuvottelija analyses of things like the government programme or the Fortum-Uniper deal, episodes made on member request, and particularly careful replies to comments. The essential limit is stated plainly: the public feed remains the bulk of the channel's content regardless, so this is an addition rather than a paywall. The working title is Neuvottelija Platinum, and inner-circle episodes will be marked in platinum rather than the usual purple. Published 26 June 2023."

## What this is

Miettinen says he has been in YouTube's development programme since 2022 and that his
contact there has repeatedly urged him to add a paid extra-content tier as viewing figures
have grown. The membership is now switched on.

## What the membership includes

Four things, in his own account:

1. **An after-session for each episode.** For several episodes now a continuation has been
   recorded with the guest, going deeper into the episode's theme or into the guest's
   career. The intention is to keep doing this — a small extra from every episode, or at
   least from a substantial part of them.
2. **His own analyses.** Miettinen's Neuvottelija analyses — of the government programme,
   say, or of the Fortum–Uniper deal — have been asked for, and he considers them a good
   fit for the member side.
3. **Requested episodes.** Members can ask for guests and themes, and those requests get
   made.
4. **Comments.** He undertakes to answer members' comments in the public feed with
   particular care.

## What does *not* change

This is the episode's essential limit, and he states it plainly: the public feed is
intended to remain the bulk of the channel's content regardless. The membership is an
addition, not a paywall placed in front of what already exists.

## Name and signalling

The working title is **Neuvottelija Platinum**, and he does not commit to it as final. The
visual distinction is settled, though: inner-circle episodes will be marked in platinum,
while ordinary Neuvottelija episodes stay purple.

The practical instruction for viewers: next to the subscribe bell there is now a **Join**
