ÜUUURG Patreon is about to murder us all (Patreon)
Content
Ay.
So, as you've probably heard from just about everyone else, on the 18th of this month Patreon is to completely shit the bed by, for no good reason, shifting the service fee from creators to patrons.
This means each patron will have to pay a fee of 2.9% of whatever amount you're pledging + a $0,35 flat charge.
Effectively, this means you do not pay $1 as a standard pledge, you're paying $1.38.
This is especially harsh for people who are donating to a number of different creators. Say, if you're donating $1 to 100 different creators, you will have to pay $38 extra. RIDICULOUS.
I totally understand if you're completely disillusioned by Patreon after this.
Due to the massive amount of backlash from pretty much everyone, I am direly hoping Patreon will listen and does NOT go through with this.
But, if they are, I will understand if you're deleting your pledge. I've already seen a number of people doing so.
If TTS and I start to die horribly due to this, let it be known that it is all Patreon's fault for shooting themselves and everyone within their vicinity in the kneecaps with a bolter.
That is all for now. I might try to find some kind of alternative to Patreon, but I'm not holding my hopes up that it'll work out well.
Thank you very much for your support throughout the years...
Have a good one.
