Changing to Anniversary/Subscription Billing (Patreon)

After years of delays, Patreon has finally pulled their finger out and introduced what I think is one of the most important benefits to patrons ever - anniversary billing.

Like most streaming services, anniversary billing means that you will be charged on the 'anniversary' of your pledge monthly. So if you sign up on the 15th, you will be charged again on the 15th of the following month. 

This change will only affect new patrons going forward. Existing patrons will continue to be charged on the 1st of the month. 

To most of you, the idea that you could be charged on the 29th of the month and again on the 1st may seem a bit absurd. However, there is a strong contingent of Patreon creators who want that system to stay the way it is. Long story short, they don't want people to 'game' the system and get double rewards.

To me, living with anyone out there 'gaming' the system is worth it for the convenience it provides to all you guys. 

So, welcome to a far more logical subscription standard!
