Hello Patreons,


Hope all of you are well and safe.


Over the past few months I have been noticing unusual activity with certain Patreon accounts that join and leave just before the billing date. I have recorded these accounts that have been doing this and I SERIOUSLY DO NOT APPRECIATE THIS IN ANY WAY! I have noticed this activity since January and I will NOT TOLERATE this any longer. Please note that I will have your account reported and blocked should you do this again. 

THIS IS DIRECTED TO THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO MISUSE MY PLATFORM! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. 

If for any reason you cannot support my platform by being a Patreon I will completely understand. However, there has been a pattern for these accounts to JOIN and LEAVE just before month end and JOIN again. 

It is very important that Patreons understand that what I do for this platform takes hard work and real effort. I am grateful to be able to upload reactions to these wonderful shows and movies! I am super thankful for those who have supported me and have been supporting me. 

However, I am utterly disappointed at this behaviour and seriously very hurt by this.


I have made the decision to enable CHARGE UP FRONT from today. Keeping in mind what has been happening and the wonderful recommendations from certain patrons, I believe this is the right way to go.


Thank you for understanding,


Aish

Erm, I though you get charged straight away from when you join....

“With charge up front, patrons are charged immediately to join, and then on the 1st of each month following their initial membership payment. Unless cancelled, your membership will automatically renew on the 1st of each month. ... Your initial payment unlocks instant access to the creator's Patreon community.” Do u not have this ?

Connie Kay

Don’t u get charged for a month no matter how long you are a Patreon of that month? I always thought so.

@JammyVSGaming @Connie Kirk Centers Yes you both are right to question the payment method. I have not enabled charge upfront for my patrons because I wanted my Patrons to have the luxury to leave and join if they face financial difficulties. However, as mentioned there are a couple of accounts that have misused this and yes it is my fault which I will rectify immediately. Hope this clears your query.

I just double checked, I have definitely paid, I did miss a month on all my patreon payments when my pay day changed but I came back (& paid ) as soon as I could xx

CeNedra

A lot of people do charge upfront from the day people join, it might be the way to go x

indiancalypso

Hi CeNedra, yes do not worry this was not aimed at you or those who have been paying for which I genuinely appreciate. Thank you for your honesty.

indiancalypso

Yes you are right I will release another post confirming this ASAP. Thank you once again.

If I ever miss a payment please tell me, if i ever have this was a accident.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this!! I can’t speak for everyone else here, but I think you could automatically charge for the beginning of the month... it’s up to us to be aware of it own finances, you shouldn’t have to carry that burden. You’re providing a service and we all appreciate what you do!! It makes me so angry that some don’t acknowledge the work and time you put into what you do. Whatever you choose, we’ve got your back!! 💕

indiancalypso

My goodness @Michelle Blkft this made me tear up thank you so much for acknowledging this♥️ yes you are right I will definitely enable charging upfront ASAP! Thank you so much I appreciate your support and your kind words it just♥️ thank you Michelle♥️

Kristen Maddox

I'm so sorry to hear this, that is not right. No one should ever disrespect you like that again. You earn your money through hard work and do this for us and those people are spoiled brats who want stuff for free and that is not acceptable. Hope everything works out. 😁

Personally, I honestly think you should charge upfront, as you are guaranteed that income for your hard work. I thought that all creators charged upfront. I believe I have had to reevaluate a few things in the past and I generally do not just drop off and then rejoin for the most part. There were a couple of times when I thought my organization was going to shut down due to the financial difficulties COVID-19 has presented in lost business, and I canceled all of my subscriptions; however, I rejoined later. If by chance, I am one that you are referring to, please know that I thought I was being charged upfront and this was never intentional. I absolutely love your reactions and think you are such a wonderful person with thoughtful insight into each episode. I will gladly recomp you for any $$ lost....please let me know. I completely understand your position!

indiancalypso

@kristen maddox Thank you so much for your concern! I truly appreciate your support for these videos I make and I am blessed to receive it. Thank you for pointing this out and I assure you I have learnt my lesson and will definitely be more cautious on these matters. Once again thank you so much Kristen! Your supports means alot and I hope you are enjoying the reactions <3

indiancalypso

@Revolutionary Snow Yes you are right and I completely agree. I will enable charge up front from today and this should things much more tricky for those who try to misuse it. Oh please I completely understand if you had financial difficulties. Which is why I even left it to monthly billing as I knew it is such a tough time for so many of us and I wanted to show my support by giving my Patrons the luxury to join and leave if they faced this provided they informed me. Most of you have been doing that and for that I truly appreciate it! I hope you are not facing difficulties any more and please if you would like to leave to focus on yourself by all means please do so! I hate to think this is happening and if there is any way I can help please do not hesitate to ask. You have been upto date with all payments and this was not directed at you. I truly appreciate your support which is one of the reasons why I love what I do! Once again thank you so much for your support and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know :)

I already thought that you charged upfront OMG IM SO SORRY! I didn't realise u were charging differently since all my other patreons always charge upfront. I personally always subscribe at the start of the month and pay and the at the end I unsubscribe cause I can't pay consistently. I usually like to binge watch videos so I subscribe again a little while later so I can watch more. I am so terribly sorry I was not realising that u were not charging upfront. That is completly my fault. So yeah I definetly recommend charging upfront since its better for us who like to binge watch reactions! I love your reactions by the way! 🥰

Lynell Twiner

I think you do a great job. Love your reactions. I know if I'm not paying close attention to the 1st my card I use for fun isn't already loaded up on that day. If a payment is missed I pay it as soon as I notice...sometimes life gets in the way. Keep up the good work....

Abbie Sharp

I'm so sorry - I've cancelled by pledge before and due to financial problems I've had to make other things high priorities, but I had thought it was an upfront charge already - I'm so sorry

Victortor

I think u should do GoT every day! 😀

I'm sorry about do that months ago. I had financial problems. Sorry about do without let you know. I haven't intention to hurt you, or to make you disappoint.
