The New Patreon Service Fee (Patreon)
Content
I'm here to make a post about the new patreon service fee system and make sure you're aware of it.
First, what is going on? Well, using patreon requires several service fees, and in the past, it's us creators who took the hit and these fees were taken from our final pay check. NOW, starting on 18th of December, patreon has chosen to change this system, so YOU, patreons have to pay these service fees. Meaning you have to pay your usual pledge + 2.9% + $0.35 service fee.

Now, I don't like this. If I had the option to keep things like they were, I would.
But unless something happens before 18th, it looks like this is happening. So, this means you'd be paying 0.35 up to 2 dollars more than you pledged. Depending of your tier and where you're from. Numbers may not be exact. This is just my estimate. And while it might not be big number to some, I understand if it's too much for some of you. If you choose to cancel your pledge, feel more than free.
For the people who choose to stay. Thank you. I don't know how this is going to go but I'll have you know I'm already thinking ways how to make it up to you for this. Like more drawings on the patreon blog.
Or, If this ends up benefiting me, I could use that extra money and maybe get a picarto subscription. This means all the art streams get archived and I'd get an access to private streams. Which could mean patreon only streams.
Or, in most extreme case of scenarios, I'll lower the prices of my tiers. Well, I can't lower the tier 1. But the others..
Anyway, just wanted to make sure you guys got the memo. Know my feelings about this. I'll see what I'll do. Thank you for reading and all the support. In the past, and in the future.
