Patreon pledge amount update (Patreon)

So some of you may have noticed that all across patreon every creators total pledge amounts have gone down and are some weird number.

This is a new feature that patreon has just released. The number you are seeing is a more accurate amount of money each creator receives each month. As patreon explained to me in an email, the new amount shows my total after;

Your estimated transaction fees

Patreon’s 5%

The pledges that declined in the last pay cycle

Overall I think this is a good thing. In the past I have had to constantly tell people "No I don't actually make 800+ a month, take about 100$ off a month and that's a more accurate amount."

I just wanted to take a moment to explain what was going on to you and hope I cleared up any confusion some of you may have had.
