Going to enable "charge upon front" (Patreon)
Content
Kinda sucks to have to do this kind of administrative stuff rather than the interesting stuff.
Some of you might have noticed that we got a lot of new Patreons after v0.3 is released. Thats good news right? Unfortunately I am confident that a percentage of these new pledges will not be honored.
So to have a more accurate indicator of where we are at. I am going to enable "charge upon front" feature of Patreon. Basically, new Patreons will be charged on the day of their pledge. This doesnt affect existing Patreons.
Patreon states that this is a permanent change and cannot be reverted.
More information here and here. One benefit is this:
"Patrons will not be able to sample "patron-only" content. Some Patrons have been able to become a patron of a monthly creator to check out the content, then delete their pledge before they are charged at the beginning of the month. With "charge up front" enabled, only paying patrons can view your "patron only" content."
