Patreon's fees increasing (Patreon)
Content
Patreon is actually changing his pledge's fees system to allow more income to creators, but by this way it also add more fees for supporters.
This system charge more, on the long time, if you support for small amount than for big pledges.
I enjoin you to take a look for these posts, they are much more eloquent than what I could be:

What I can do on my side? Well, nothing really, the pledge's prices reducing will not change anything. The really bad thing I see with this new system is that now peoples will be encouraged to support less creators because fees will be too high to take.
This is for this reason I want to tell you that.
If you want to retire because this new system, and you cannot take all of these fees costs, I will not blame you for that, because I think it's normal, you also have to take care of you.
I support a lot of other artists and I think I will also be forced to reduce or delete my support for some too.
Have some good times folks :)
