Hello patrons, This is important. Patreon has recently announced some changes to the payment system. You can read their blog post (update included) here: https://blog.patreon.com/updating-patreons-fee-structure/ The TL;DR is that Patreon is charging you an additional 2.9% + $0.35 PER PLEDGE.
This money is meant to pay transaction fees (previously were taken from my cut) so that creators like myself get more money. I and many others never asked for this. The fact that they suddenly made this change with no warning and no option to opt out IS NOT OK.
If you can, please complain to patreon. I'm bringing this to attention just to be honest and upfront. Although I'd like if you continued to support me, I won't blame you if you choose to withdraw. If you happen to do so. Please please include the fee as your reason.
