We need to talk about these Patreon changes...
🕑 Added 2017-12-08 00:01:31 +0000 UTC Normally I make these audio updates only available for a certain tier every week, but I thought this would be a good time to make it available for everyone so I can share my thoughts about Patreon's new changes.Here's the full blog post from Patreon: https://blog.patreon.com/updating-patreons-fee-structure/

Hey Scott if these changes go through, (or even if they don't) have you looked at reverting to pledging per month, instead of per video or seeing if you can have that as an option for your patrons to cut down on the transaction fees? (From what I understand there is already a long workaround, by bumping pledge level and changing the settings to only be charged once a month, but thats complicated I would assume most are unaware of how to do it)

The only fee creators are charged is Patron's 5% fee for keeping the site running. It's the transaction fees that are now passed off to Patrons instead of the creators.
If the fees are transitioning to be payed by us, are you still charged a fee? I’m ok with it, because I was paying them anyways, but I want to know that they are not taking it on both ends.
