Editing the $1 tier (updated) (Patreon)

I set it up initially to allow people who couldn't afford more than that to show support if they wanted to. But now that I'm gonna be using Patreon more seriously it's kind of arbitrary, and even a slight liability.

I get about 75¢ per 1 dollar patron. That takes AWHILE to add up.

About 45% of the people here are in the 1 dollar tier but they only account for about 12% of the funds I get each month. And that'd be fine, but they're getting essentially the same benefits as the $5 and $10 right now. (since I haven't completed any artpacks or comics yet)

And because it's so cheap, it's also the tier that is routinely used by griefers to come in and download the early access art and post it online publicly out of spite, leave harassing comments and messages, or even dip in and out without paying.

So I will be editing the $1 tier so that it only has access to concept sketches.

Advanced WIPs and fully rendered illustrations will be for $5 and up tiers.

This will be first time I've changed a tier so we'll see how and when it takes effect. And I will likely need to go through and manually edit each existing post for accessibility.

UPDATE: I've changed accessibility on the most recent posts so that WIPS and Finished pics from the last few days are only accessible to $5 and up tiers. Older stuff is still accessible to the $1 tier, but going forward only sketches will be viewable to them.
