Recent Patreon pledge fee changes (Patreon)
Content
Admittedly, I haven't fully read up on the changes, but the overwhelming opinion going around the internet is that this pretty crappy change if you pledge a few bucks to a lot of creators.
You can read Patreon's official post on the matter and watch this short video to get an idea of what's going on:

In short, if you're on a tight budget and can only spare a few bucks for a handful of people each month, money probably just got a bit tighter. If you have to cut back on your pledges and decide to cut me out of your budget, I certainly won't hold it against you and I hope you can support me in the future when the system improves.
Patreon seems to have other plans in store for their system as a whole, so we'll just have to see how it continues to change. They've definitely heard the complaints so far.
