had just reached over 800$ in pledges and I was ready to expand and
start dedicating more time to it.
Then I noticed that about a third of my patrons(especially the ones who
pledged more) had their pledges declined. Then I noticed that all of
these people had generic names and emails. They, basically, fake pledged
so they could have access to the material for this month and then they
bailed out at the end, leaving me with a total of 200$ in pledges.
So, yeah, I'm extremely disapointed and angry. And I know that these
people heard of my Patreon either through furaffinity or inkbunny, which
means that they're also my "fans".
So, if they wanted me to feel like shit, congrats. I do. I don't usually
talk about this, but I have a serious medical condition and I was
really counting on that money.
So, I'm thinking of changing the pledges from monthly to weekly. So that way, if there's a fake one, I'll know in a week. Nothing is for sure now, and for next couple of days I won't post anything. I've contacted the Patron staff and I'm waiting for their answer. I'm gonna try to make sure no one tries to screw me over while still keeping the paying patrons happy.
Anyway, that's it. I don't know how things are gonna be from here on. Please, be a little patient. I'm sorry about this and I know you guys didn't do anything wrong, but I cannot let this happen again. I'll keep you guys informed.
