Long story short, that means you're gonna be charged a little more, so i have to pay a bit less on every fee.

I don't feel 100% comfortable with that change, because one of the reasons i get rid of the 15$ tier, was because many people doesn't have the funds to pledge more. or are pledging to many other campaigns at once.

Right now i'm questioning myself if i have to lower the 5$ tier, to keep my audience support, I need your feedback.

I'm here to help an artist I like so as as long an what you charge isn't crazy, I'm more than willing to help, so I'm ok with you charging a little more. =)

For people like me that support a bunch of creators, it means that I will likely need to cut some pledges. Luckily, you are active enough that I will continue to support you, but it does kind of suck.

If i like a artist a small change in the amount of money doesn't bother me at all. I will continue to be a patreon. I very much understand the concern it has when raising prices but i think you should be fine. In my own personal opinion i think you charge to little for the amount of times you post and quality of "art".

60% of my patreons can keep all the money I give them. You're in that 60%. But I have so many people I want to contribute to so I'm planning on dropping some that haven't really been on my favorites list and just do rotational patreons for that 40%.

Thanks for the information

This should be intresting, the pessimist in me suspects this is the first of many changes to turn patreon into as much of a scam as most charities. ( 60%+ processesing fees ) This is definetly going to make me drop a few people I support who dont update regularly enough.

The whole thing sounds to me like, their giving up on Net Neutrality in general and, making an excuse to charge the doners for a little extra money for themselves...

Thanks, But also that mean i have now more pressure, if people think im not active enough, they just gonna leave.

Yes, I do not know why patreon thinks we all are "money trees", there's so many people i can't support right now, imagine when the extra charges starts

This is gonna put a lot of pressure to many creators, and that can start the creation of a lot of crappy content, because looks like the target is gonna be getting something quick, instead of giving something good.

*starting december 18th, creators still won't be taking home 95%, you know, when we don't account for that 2.9% and that 0.35 processing fee.* It's like they didn't hear about EA getting shot in the foot.

I'm proud to support you stuntman. I'll support you for as long as I can. Keep up the good work 😊

Andrew Rowe

I'll continue my support, even though I have 12 creators who I give to, because I love the works. Y'all are like🎅. Andrew

Smithy Yank

i'll support as long as i'm able

The problem is that that flat-fee portion of the charge means that smaller donations give a greater percentage of money to Patreon and a smaller percentage to the creator. They are, in essense, punishing the $1 pledges, and even making it more uncomfortable for the $5 pledges.
