Good news: Patreon has decided not to change the fees (Patreon)

Firstly, I truly want to thank you all for the gratuitous support I received from all of these potential changes. I do keep my personal life quite separate from my artistic life, and that's on purpose, so I can't quite explain how much you've all changed my life, and benefitted my day-to-day financial stability, but it really has made a dramatic difference!

Secondly, and most importantly, our feedback was heard. Patreon is not changing the fee structure, so for now we're okay.

I've lost a few patrons because of this announcement, and many other creators have lost much more because of it. Patreon has learned from this mistake, and has announced that in the future they will not intercede between the Creator and Patron relationship again. At the core of all of this, that was the major issue, and they've apologized profusely for crossing that line. I do ask that you read through this blog post, and if you would like, leave feedback at the end so that we can create a healthy working relationship between the users and moderators of Patreon. 

Thank you all so much for your support, I cannot express how deeply appreciative I am of all of you.
