There's a hole!
Added 2017-12-08 13:36:58 +0000 UTCYou should have received an e-mail from Patreon that basically tells you that you will be paying my fees, so that instead of 80% I get to take 95% of my earnings. WTF? So you all have to pay extra, basically? There will be a 3% increase on your transactions, but that's what they say.
This is where the ship will start sinking, imo. It smells like a scam. If you want to pledge 3$ why whould you pay 3.44? (there's a 0.35 etra just for giggles so it's even more bullshit). This will affect severly low tiers for every creator, especially 1$ tiers. So 3$ pledgers will see an increase of 10% in fees, and 1$ pledgers will see a 30% increase.
18 December is gonna be the date when this change will apply.
This is gonna suck for all of us, it was fine the way it was. I didn't really mind getting 20% less as long as you had the power to decide exactly how much to pledge. Now you'll always have extra fees. Sure, they help me A LOT in the long run but it's still extra money the system is asking.
THERE IS ONE SOLUTION
I can delete all tiers and re-write all the prices with decimals. This is a way we fuck the system. I prefer that you have power over your transactions rather than being forced to feed me in some obscure way.
I'll make a poll about this soon.
To anyone that still supports me to this day and will keep doing that: I love you.

2017-12-09 18:13:49 +0000 UTCI agree. Still, thank you for sticking with them :)
2017-12-09 08:55:42 +0000 UTCthank you man, it's very appreciated :)
2017-12-09 08:55:10 +0000 UTCthat's extreme XD but thanks :)
2017-12-09 08:54:45 +0000 UTCIt no biggie. Hopefully no one jumps ship over some change. You have my pledge for a long long time.
2017-12-08 23:36:28 +0000 UTCI'm sticking to all of my pledges as they are, despite the changes. I like additional transparency, but I don't like the way they rolled this out.
2017-12-08 21:55:23 +0000 UTCI'll keep supporting you till I have no money left xD

2017-12-08 18:21:47 +0000 UTCwait what? care to explain? maybe via message if you prefer
2017-12-08 17:18:07 +0000 UTCI'm more concerned about the jerks that subscribe and then delete the artists from their creators list so they don't have to pay :/

2017-12-08 17:08:48 +0000 UTCYou've still got my support. I love your artwork too much to cry about $0.35 extra. Patreon does seem to like screwing over creators and supporters alike though.
