Patreon Update (Patreon)

Hey Patrons and Visitors!
I'm writing this to inform everyone of a small change, I'm enabling "up front billing" for new patrons.  Now what does this mean and why?

This means a new patron would be charged immediately upon pledging, not operate freely until the 1st of the next month.

Old system: Patron joins on July 15th, has access to all content until August 1st for free and could still cancel before then.

New system: Patron joins on July 15th, they are charged for that month, has access to all content until August 1st, then renews as normal unless cancelled.

This should hopefully alleviate any confusion as to why new patrons sometimes would have to wait weeks for me to send them certain benefits (waiting on billing), while others were immediate.  

For people who have already been Patrons since the 1st of the month: this means NO CHANGE AT ALL!  This would primarily affect newcomers
