[VERY IMPORTANT] I NEED a Show of Hands
- I am active & WILL readily switch to SubStar when the time comes 81
- I am active & WILL NOT switch to Substar when the time comes 15
PLEASE AT LEAST READ THE BOLDED PARTS OF THIS AND VOTE, I'm trying to navigate my business using this information.
ICYMI: For the 2nd time in recent months Patreon's bent over to appease a company that actively and openly hates NSFW creators, in this case Apple. Previously it was VISA/Mastercard. Next time it will be someone else and it will probably be worse.
While this current change doesn't make or break anything for me personally YET, it's a clear growing trend of giving in to these companies and it makes me very nervous (if you don't remember, Tumblr did similar things specifically with Apple not long before they axed us). So I am now looking more actively at transitioning to SubscribeStar (Note: DON'T SWITCH YET, this is to try and figure out how best to go about it. For now I'm still using Patreon) because it seems the smart thing to do to switch on my own terms instead of waiting for Patreon to kick us all out.
So lets do this for now.
ASSUMING THE PRICE IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME AND YOU COULD SWITCH TO SUBSTAR WITHOUT GETTING DOUBLE-BILLED THAT MONTH*, WOULD YOU BE READY AND WILLING TO SWITCH TO A SUBSTAR SUBSCRIPTION FOR MY WORK.
*Meaning, you already got charged by Patreon like normal, but the switch happens and you don't get charged for SubStar until the following month thus avoiding double-billing.
