VOTE on the Tier price change
- I would remain a patron in my current Tier 358
- I would downgrade to Tier 1 10
- I would become a Free Member or leave 17
Due to several financial factors explained in this video, I need to change the pricing of Tiers 1 and 2. I've always been committed to the balance of keeping this Patreon as affordable as possible while also supporting myself, and I always will be. This change very much comes from necessity, and it's the only option I have for finding something that approaches basic financial stability.
(If my phrasing seems stilted or mechanical it's because trying to convey meaning about this through a text only format feels very, very strange. I do a much better job in the video.)
A couple of things need to happen before any change is implemented--I'd hardly just spring this on you out of nowhere. First, you need to know what's happening + why, and that's what the video is for. It gives all the context you need, and lets me look you in the eye (which is important to me in general, but especially for things like this).
Second, I need to get a good idea of how many patrons would stay and how many would become Free Members or choose to leave. This will help me gauge the best path forward for everybody. Here's what the the new pricing would be:
Tier 1: $2
Tier 2: $3.50
If you already know you'll stay, that's fantastic! I'll keep working to give you every ounce of value you've always deserved and then some. Let me know you'll stay in the poll below.
If you would have to become a Free Member or leave, whether it's too costly or you don't get that much value from what I do, I completely understand. Zero hard feelings. That's simply how it works between creators and patrons, we've all had to deal with that aspect of the relationship in one way or another.
Free Members are a huge part of a Patreon like mine. It only makes sense that some people need or want to hop onto a Tier for certain shows and then hop off again. Since Free Members became a thing, I've done my best to provide what I can to them as a thank you for taking an interest in what I'm about, and that will never change. <3
Being honest with me is what will help me navigate this in the best way possible. I recommend watching the video for context, but for a lot of you this will be a pretty simple decision, and I get that too.
If this Patreon's Tier pricing changed to $2 for Tier 1 and $3.50 for Tier 2...
