Difficult times..? (Patreon)

Content

Alot of people has deleted their pledge currently so I don't think I will have enough to pay bills this month unless I start accepting commissions earlier in february, I know I have taken a month break and very little content this month but if 80% of people gonna pledge just to delete it as the month ends to avoid getting charged for free content then I really can't afford to have a patreon, it kinda sucks that patreon don't give out "pay upfront" so all this could be avoided, I do feel like a dick for asking people for money to help me with bills and I apologize.

It's just nearly impossible to have a patreon when charging is not upfront since most people delete their pledge before they are charged the start of each month.


Or I could start uploading new content after everyone is charged but it would be a full month of no art and a massive wave of new art each month but I doubt people would like that.

I could also sell an artpack each month (new art is added to a folder I sell later) but that's the same as uploading new content after everyone is charged.

This is just too difficult, I've waited 2 years for the pay-upfront option and I still don't have it, I am starting to doubt if I am ever gonna get it...


I am sorry for ranting and complaining..

Honestly, I'm not on here for the artwork... I'm here to help artists I like have the support they need to live.... I don't mind of there's no uploads for a month... I solely see the artwork posted as just a bonus to the help I give

thank you.. only if there was more people like you, im not trying to judge other people whos here only for the art, I understand them, people like art and I like to create but I'm also having difficult with mental image, like creating images in my head so it gets difficult to visualize ideas before I draw it, my brain is blank 24/7, something ive suffered since ive been a child so me trying to pump out new content every day does get really difficult for me, as a alone artist, id love to work with a different artist to keep uploads as fast as possible but that's likely not gonna happen...

I’m also not here for the art. Art is a bonus, not a requirement.

Thank you.. my month break ends tomorrow so I'll try my best to bring more art in february <3

Hmm... But if I pledge new artist I'll charged immediately. I think it is "pay upfront". Anyway I will support you as long as possible, I like your art in any quantity :) But it'd better have more of it ;)

I don't really care how often you upload new art. I'm here for the artist more than I am for the art. It sucks that people take advantage of the lack of pay-upfront. Patreon should seriously get their shit together. I like that you have a patreon, because it is easy for college people like me that can only afford so much per month to help you out. I hope whatever you choose works out <3

Wow I did not even know people could do that. Thats garbage and should not happen.

Me too I'm not here for the art. I'll raise my pledge next month to compensate a little.

Thought it allowed a pay upfront option. Might just be stupidly hard to find in their layout? Had pledged a few artists around mid month and charged me upfront then again end of the month. Might just be some setting so mid to end month it charges for that month.

Not hard to find it, I contacted patreon few months ago asking for it and they said they don't give it to people who ask and that I had to "check the settings each month and see if it appears one day" Patreon gives the option "pay-upfront" to random people, they also said it's still in beta mode which I am confused for, since they've been in beta for literally years, I'm not sure if that's just an excuse or not. But I I've checked each month for the option for 2 years now and still nothing, I'm losing hopes for patreon...

Yeah, lots of artist got the option except me, I just consider them lucky since they managed to get one and I haven't, it sucks.

Everybody have their own reason somebody is expect for art only and not care what artist will be but for me will support the artist for make them be ready for create their amazing artwork :3 cheer up Leto! It's not your fault they just change their way

People are fickle. I would think most of the drops are from people not seeing much content during your illness. Consistent rewards are important to folks with limited funds set aside for Patreon. I bet those pledges simply went elsewhere but I also think they will be back.
