Maybe all of you can help me with a few issues I'm having with the tiers, as well as how to help balance them. So many assumptions I made before determining the tiers and their rewards were made before I was familiar with patreon and the mechanics of its inner workings, so please help by discussing in the comments.
The first issue is the 20$ tier. I know some people love to contribute the highest tier to support the artist, (and thank you for that!) but for many, the tier simply doesn't give enough incentive. Polling with added weight is awkward at best (I have to create two separate polls and accumulate those points back into the lower tier poll), and it leaves a strange impression for the lower tier if their poll wins one result but I declare that another option won because of weighting. Thoughts?
The second problem with the $20 tier is that I don't think the comic early access rewards is valuable enough. I can't post a whole lot about my side comic since there's so much I don't want spoiled, and with me doing comics as general patreon content, it makes it seem like the tier doesn't do anything. Is there something I can do to make the 20$ tier (and 12$ tier for that matter) more worth it without promising what I can't deliver? Please help me with this.
TLDR; I'm pretty happy with the first three tiers, but I want to make the 12$ and 20$ tiers better balanced.
