Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well! 

Patreon has introduced a new feature in that creators can now get paid in their local currency. This is really great news for me as PayPal was taking a HUGE chunk of pledges in currency conversion which normally (after Patreon took their cut) left me with less than 50% of what was pledged! 

You can still pay in your own currency which is good, though it may be a little higher now due to the conversion rates. Now if this isn't what you want to do or the rates are a bit too high for you, then I totally understand if you want to delete or change your pledge. Im incredibly grateful for your patronage regardless! And, Im still going to be uploading videos on YouTube for you to enjoy! 

That also being said, I will be introducing some changes soon to Patreon which I will discuss in a separate thread as I would like to hear your feedback! :S

Completely understandable Charlette. 50% payout after conversion is insane. 😱

Oh wow, I really wasn't aware of that - glad that you'll be able to make that change - good that more of what we want you to get will now really reach you <3 When do you anticipate do make this change effective? Will it mean that all current Patreons are "kicked out" and will have to newly subscribe and pledge? Have a brilliant day!
