Hey guys! How's it going? I was thinking about Patreon, rewards and gumroad the other day, seeing as the latest Patreon milestone backtracks every month, and then I realized a big mistake about the thing. Basically, now on Patreon you can use PayPal for nsfw, and since all rewards are available after a single pledge, anyone can get all the packs for just $1, and then cancel their pledge right after. Not only that, but also means you can just pledge $1 every few months and get everything released in the meantime easily. So, I was thinking some way to manage this a little better in a way that doesn't affect real pledging patrons, and I think a good way will be sending the rewards via download link on private messages from now on. I'll still post a preview image and a list of contents (I like how it looks), but that way, pledge-and-run will be discouraged. My question is, how could I manage the older rewards? Those are still on Patreon and are all accessible to everyone who pledges $1 just once and cancels. I was thinking maybe something related to the individual lifetime pledge amount or something like that. So, what do you guys think about this? Any suggestions are welcome!
