Patreon update (2nd this month woops) (Patreon)

I have noticed that there are people who think it's okay to pledge to my Patreon for the content and then leave again before they have to pay, this really is just stealing and now i gotta take measures to prevent that.

I will be changing the way Patrons are charged so they are charged upfront instead of waiting till their first payment cycle, for most of you existing Patrons this should mean nothing changes but there are a few scenarios that will work a little differently which are explained nicely by Patreon: 

Q: What happens if an existing patron increases their pledge amount?

A: Patrons who increase their  pledge amount will immediately be charged the difference between their  previous pledge level and their new pledge level. For example, a patron  was charged $10 on March 1st. They edit their pledge to $15 on March  7th. On March 7th, they are charged $5 to bring the total paid by this  patron in March up to $15.

Q: What happens if an existing patron decreases their pledge amount? 

A: Patrons who decrease their pledge amount will be charged the new  amount on the 1st of the month. They will not be refunded anything.

As for new Patrons, they will now be charged for the month that they join when they join instead of waiting for the next term to start, thus removing the period of time where they can view Patreon only content for free. It really is a disappointment that i need to do this but Patreon is one of my main sources of income and i can't have people trying to take my work for free. (⌯˃̶᷄ ﹏ ˂̶᷄⌯)

If anyone has any questions about this just send me a message! I'll be working on getting this changed now!
