Patreon and it's new billing system
🕑 Added 2017-12-08 13:21:33 +0000 UTC What do you think? People don't seem to be very happy about this, especially since it punishes pledging small sums to lots of people.I get that Patreon needs to make money to stay in business, but it doesn't seem like they're prioritizing serving its users first. So it seems to me like a move made out of greed to just get a bigger cut. Maybe they're in need financially? I donno.
With these changes though, it becomes harder for people to pledge small sums to blogs like mine that don't really hand out any rewards or encourage people to pledge more. I'm not sure if I should add rewards like that myself. I think you've seen already my uploads can be very sporadic, and I wouldn't want to disappoint people when they actually put money behind it. What do you think?

Im considering switching to a different platform if something comparable and relyable exists. I hear ko-fi is a thing?

I did a post on this myself as well, and really at least for you I'll keep supporting ya as long as I see -something- as support as well ATM, but this extra excess per donation is pretty harmful for those who support more then just 1 or 2 patreon's regardless of how you slice it, and I'm really hoping we'll see some extra changes on the matter in the following weeks before this goes fully live.
