I think we're good now. Here's a post from Patreon. (Patreon)

I think waiting to see what would happen was a good idea.   This is worth the read.  Thanks for sticking with me!

We messed up. We're sorry, and we're not rolling out the fees change. - The Patreon Blog

Creators and Patrons, We've heard you loud and clear. We're not going to rollout the changes to our payments system that we announced last week.

You're a good guy Destin! ❤️

Glad they're going back on it. Disappointed they didn't acknowledge the issue with charging each individual pledge rather than individual transactions. Makes me wonder if they'll try to implement a similarly underhanded revenue booster in the next solution. Glad it worked out in the meantime, anyway!

Glad they listen to people. That was a real apology that they posted, not just "suck it up, buttercup" that a lot of companies would have said.

Daniel Turner

I shall still be keeping my fingers crossed for a while longer.

Chris Hinkle

Thanks for being awesome, Destin. :)

Rosuav

They did actually. One of the bullet points was about aggregation - that is, the way that you can pledge to a dozen creators and they will turn that into a single charge.

Steve

Yup. Waiting was a good idea. The three bulleted items in that blog post perfectly sum up the problems, and the rest of the post acknowledges & apologizes for the poor decision making process and roll-out of the change. Bravo Patreon!

Andrew R

Ah, is that what they meant with that point. That wasn't entirely clear to me on first readthrough, thanks :)

Invisible Jazz

I knew that no matter their business model, it didn't work with people leaving the platform - so this is unsurprising yet welcome and hopefully everyone has learnt something new. Meanwhile those who left to prove a point can now come back and since they never actually made the changes, nothing should have changed so noone lost out :) If they legitimately work with creators in future then this should be avoided!

Destin, I had been on the fence to become a patron of your channel for a long time now. The way you handled this confirmed I should. Way to handle a rough situation gracefully.

Don

You handled the situation extremely well, Destin. Thanks for doing what was right, putting things on hold until things were sorted. Nicely done!

Aaron McBride

I'm re-pledging. It's only $1 per Smarter video (I like to spread it around :)), but I hope it helps get the message to Patreon.

Bryan Hakey

You handled this well. Thank you.

Christopher Vee

Maybe you can suggest that they give Patrons the option to cover the fees?
