Lili's conspiration + Patreon new fees policy
🕑 Added 2017-12-11 14:12:49 +0000 UTC Back to work !! Here is a preview of the steps on the new cover i'm working on. A lot of retakes already, and probably a lot more to come !>>> On another and more serious subject, everyone lately is having a debate on whether to stay or not, because of Patreon new fees policy : starting December 18, they will be changing the fee structure . They intend to charge patrons from now on, so -as they say- artists would be safer & free but it seems obvious it is dis-serving them instead of helping, because it raises so much the cost of small pledges (1$ now will cost people 1,38$) that for people who contributes to many artists it means double the costs, it's just plainly stupid. They kind of admitted it was because they want "real" pledge from people who have money instead of the "tipping" style of payments, which is, for me and a lot of people, the way we do things.
I took this from Nicole Mannino to explain the new costs for you
$1 pledge: 1 + .35 + 2.9% = $1.38
$3 pledge: 3 + .35 + 2.9% = $3.43
$5 pledge: 5 + .35 + 2.9% = $5.50
$10 pledge: 10 + .35 + 2.9% = $10.64
There's a great post about it here also, if you want to know more.
As for me, I don't have time until the end of the year to change the way I share private and exclusive contents, but I am really uneasy with this. I would totally understand if you would prefer to cancel your pledge, I already am really lucky that so many of you sticked with me and I will always be grateful that you did <3
★ I opened a ko-fi account some time ago, for one time tips !
★ I will have a look at Tipeee too, I created a page (Tipeee is a french Patreon, I don't know if it's accessible enough for oversea patrons though)
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any hesitation !

I want to take time and do the maths too, see if it's cheaper for people to follow me somewhere else, but if they want to stay I will stay too.... kind of complicated. But I really hate the way Patreon is handling this v v

I really don't know... I'm in a wait an see phase. I plan on opening a Tipeee too, and if my patrons follow me there, then I'll close the Patreon page :/
