Big Changes to Billing? (Patreon)

I'd like to gather your thoughts on a potential change to our billing process. I'm considering switching to a system where new members are charged upfront, with a recurring charge date that stays the same. For example, if you sign up on the 23rd, you'll always be charged on the 23rd, instead of the first day of the month.

This means that you won't be able to sign up just to get all the STLs and cancel before being charged, but it also means you won't have the opportunity to try out the STL for free before committing.

I'm considering making this change, but please note that once I do, I won't be able to revert back.

As far as I have been told everyone here already will not have there billing date change.

What do you think? Should we go ahead with it?
