A lot creators (both swf and nsfw) are reporting roughly 20% of their patrons having declined pledges. 

I am seeing this also also waiting for some kind of response from patreon about it. Hopefully all this gets sorted out without any patrons having to take any action. Thanks to all those staying with me! (or trying to!) 

Project updates to follow soon~

One patron I follow posted a pic saying that patreon wont accept PayPal pledges for NSFW art anymore, idk about why SFW but supposedly thats a reason for drops

Please be aware that image is likely fake, as no one has proven to receive that from a credible patron source. I did hear another rumor that patreon is trying a queue system to process pledges. it only processed about 80% of the patrons ok. leaving the roughly 20% declined pledges resulting from some technical issue in their new system. Also I have seen reports about patreon moving their bank to the UK (without telling anyone it seems). And said bank is marking cards and frauds/declined.

mmm, maybe people get fed up with waiting or are impatient. Thats why I support multiple creators because I would get bored, a few times I have seen creators not come out with content for a month and few months. Not sure the right thing to do at that point keep supporting or not, but you come out with content at a good basis and update us what youre doing frequently. Ill always support you if you maintain what youre doing.

Many thanks for the support~ yeah having been on patreon for over 4 years now, I certainly have a few close calls myself but I do make a point get content out at least monthly. I think every creator takes a small dip from impatient people and/or some other reasons at the start of month and then recovers by the end of the month. However this appears to be a widespread technical issue related to processing pledges.

This whole thing is a mess. Merryweather comics just went from 8k this month to 2k in an instant.

wow that's crazy! I'm seeing more reports from people who called their banks. A lot of the reasons are the same all stemming from patreon changing their bank location to the UK

Hey, are you maybe interested in a shoutout for ashoutout?

Not at the moment. I tried this in the past and I gave the shutout, and other person didn't do anything, so I got turned off to the idea.
