I am Sorry but this has to stop (Patreon)

This is a quick announcement!
I am receiving a lot of declines in pledges as of late.
I make my mind for a month with 500$ then I find that only 60% of the readers pay and the others decline and I only get 300$ at the end of the month.
I am aware that some readers go in, pledge to the 5$ tier and then decline at the pay time and I have a list of names as well but I am not here to call out.
Starting from this month May 2021, and I have hinted it a few times before, I am going to start charging patrons at the start of each month with the focus on delivering as much content as I can.
Please be understanding since this affects my main source of income and in case you think it is silly that 500$ is my main source of income then yes, that's actually a good amount when transferred into the Egyptian Pound and I live off it like a normal company employee along side my actual day job.
Just to be clear, this is not about the people who have difficulties with keeping the pledges. I always read the exit surveys and I know a lot are having financial difficulties in these times especially after Covid. This was happening for three years and I ignored it out of goodwill for the rest of the patrons.
This is not a side I would usually like to view to my readers especially my patrons but this affects my life especially since I am getting married by next year isa.
If any problem arises after this, please contact me right away.
