So I got email from Patreon telling that there will be some changes. Nothing major, I think. But it does sound a little tricky. Or maybe it's just me having little trouble since English is not my first language 

In the end it said:

Important note: this update will affect future access to posts for your patrons who selected “no reward,” and for patrons who pledge more than the tier they originally selected (e.g., those that pay $15 for a $10 tier).

If these patrons want to continue seeing your posts according to the dollar amount they're paying, they simply need to update their settings to sign up for the tier they want to be in. Patrons can sign up for their desired tier by visiting: https://patreon.com/pledges


Now I'm not good explaining what this all is about, but you can check it from here, I think.

Now when this change comes I'll try to keep thing rolling as similar as they are now. I don't think there will be much difference in the end, but eh.

okay, lets see if i understand this. lets say i change from 1 $ to 5$. i need to go into my pledges and change from the 1 $ pledge that i started with to the 5$ pledge. this entails basicly that theyre gonna implement that people may pay more to the artist, but if they wanna keep themselves from seeing certain nsfw stuff, they can choose a lower pledges viewing status.

as someone who has not pledged to someone before I cant tell if that makes thing easier or messier

On the pledge page you can input how much in $ you want to pay + choose which tier to join. Authors now can (or will be able to) send posts only to selected tiers, so you can send posts to Impatient Reader tier that pages are unlocked and Super Fan tier won't get spammed with the same message. I guess this is more useful for authors for which the "the more you pay the more you get" does not work. Ie. You could have 10$ Super Fan tier and also create 10$ Super Fan but no nudes pls. tier where no NSFW will be sent, but they still want to pay you full amount.

I guess there is some sense to that. But also sounds bit... I dunno. Unneeded? Sounds like just more complicated than it needs to be
