If you're paying attention you might notice my pledge amount has just dropped quite a bit. It's been yoyo-ing a lot lately (at one point over $1000) buy this looks like a much bigger drop, doesn't it?

Well, don't worry, this is Patreon's new system of only showing what I am actually likely to get from month to month. They are now subtracting their fees, as well as pledges that were declined in the last cycle. That means my stats look a bit less impressive than before, but it's a lot closer to being accurate.


I'm planning to revise my goal amounts at some point soon, because I don't need them to be quite as high any more.

How much does patreon get from pledges?

BBBen

Patreon takes 5%, which is actually pretty reasonable and much less than a lot of other crowdfunding sites (like Kickstarter, which takes an enormous 15%). There are, however, also credit card and currency conversion fees on top of that (in addition to declined pledges).

Could also be due to Christmas coming up. Everyone spends way to much during this time :)

Yes, I'm afraid I do too. :) Ultimately, though, it's good that Patreon has made this change because it means you can see how much I'm really getting (sort of) and how many 'real' patrons I currently have (sort of).
