So Patreon has updated options for payment! I would love to know your guys' opinion on this to see if this account should stay how it is in terms of payment options or if you would like to change to the new alternative~!

♦ Usually everyone is charged as follows: If you joined today, Sept. 26th, you pay for your sub today and then get charged on Oct. 1st to continue seeing content. Kinda sucks if you don't expect that type of billing. But everyone gets charged on the first of each month after that and it's more cohesive month to month.

♣ New Option! Patreon is now offering to do 'subscription' charging instead of monthly. So if you joined today, Sept. 26th, you would then get charged again Oct. 26th! It makes a lot more sense to the average patron, but it means you won't get access to all of Octobers posts.

So my question for you, is which would you prefer? Once I switch to a different option, I can't switch back! So I've been hoping your opinion will help me finally make a choice.

More details on this can be found here as well if you wanna see technical stuff.

I mean it's only unfortunate for that first lil month but other than that the system works fine as is :P

I agree~ But I am curious >>" I also like that people get to see everything planned for "X Month" instead of seeing stuff split up *shrug

Wait I don't understand. I thought that once you subscribed to someone you got access to all of their posts, even from before you subscribed. Is that not the case with subscription billing?

I think that depends on the creator. I have it set so anyone can look back. (Others have it locked to just the months you paid as a patron, that's all you see.) But the sub does make it so you can't see all of October if it ends on say, the 15th (which makes sense but sucks IMO)

Oh I get what you mean. So like, If you end your subscription it'll stop at the renewal date instead of the end of the month? If that's the only difference, I've got no preference

Think the current one is fair. Its very generous to give access to all past posts so you deserve that bit of payment overlap if we're getting immediate access 😊
