Patron Feedback on Payment Adjustments (Patreon)

Howdy all you fine n' lovely patrons.

We're looking into possibly adjusting our pledge model for Patreon. Currently it's a bit messy. We're set up to charge per creation, but only charge y'all once a week. On top of that:

- $5 Patrons can ask multiple priority questions. We ask y'all to show restraint, but we have no way to enforce it.

- $5 Patrons may be charged $5-20 per month depending on how their limits are set,

- $10 Patrons may be charged more, or less, for less content than $5 Patrons.

- Any future incentives or tiers are impossible to fairly pair with our Ko-Fi and YouTube supporters.

The newly proposed tiers would help us even things out across platforms, open up new opportunities for incentives, and more fairly charge both our patrons and our other supporters.

The new tiers would be based on a monthly, single charge system:

- $5/mo. - you get 1 Priority Question for the month

- $10/mo. - you get 2 Priority Questions for the month

- $15/mo. - you get 3 Priority Questions for the month

- $20/mo. - you get 4 Priority Questions for the month

All current Priority Qs would remain in the queue to be answered; we wouldn't apply this retroactively.  If approved, we would apply these new tiers in August 2022.

We greatly value your support - morally and financially - and want to make sure everyone is getting the fairest shake. This would make it fair to everyone within our Patreon, fair to all our supporters outside of it, and fair to us for the work we do. 

We didn't expect to have this level of success. (We honestly thought the original $5 tier would scare people off - HA!) It's thanks to all of your generosity that we need to reassess and update how we do things.

Or, if you all collectively hate the idea, we'll go back to the drawing board. Please vote in the poll and let us know!
