You probably already got an email about how Patreon's payment structure is changing later this month. If you haven't, here's a summary: Patreon wanted to ensure that creators got 95% of pledge amounts, so they pushed transaction fees over to the patron. Now instead of you pledging 100% of your pledge and me receiving ~85%, you'll be paying >100% of your pledge to cover transaction fees and I'll get 95% of the 'pledge'. I'm not going to say I entirely agree with what they've decided to change, but I will say that I totally understand if you need to reduce or drop your pledges because of this new system. From what I understand, if you pledge a little bit to a lot of different creators, you're going to get dinged the hardest. So don't feel bad if you need to limit your spending. :)
