About Patreon's Changes...

Hello everyone,

In case you missed Patreon's email to you, they are making changes on how they do charges. And so far, NOBODY seems to like it. I'm not a fan of this idea either. I'll explain.

In the past, when someone makes a donation, I would get anywhere from 85 to 93 percent of that based on how various institutions do their transaction charges.

With this new change, they are locking in what I get to a constant 95% of your pledge. So if I am getting more, how are these various transaction fees going to get paid??

Patreon is passing the "savings" on to you. From now on, a donation pledge actually means what you pay is your donation amount plus 2.9% of that amount plus 35 cents.

So for example if your pledge amount is $6, this is what you will actually pay (if my math is right):

$6 + 0.174(2.9%) + .35 = $6.53

And if your pledge is $12, this is what you actually pay (if math is right):

$12 + 0.348 (2.9%) + 0.35 = $12.70

So yeah... It's kinda sucky. I wish this wasn't the case. Now; if you squint and tilt your head a little, you could look at it from the aspect of the quality of my work with new hardware and software has gone up over time and so it's worth a little extra.. But that is of course mental gymnastics and the bottom line is they (and as a result, I) am asking more of you. I wish this wasn't the case. I hope you can stick with me, but I would understand if this added amount is over your budget and you have to leave. I thank you all for your support and I will continue to do my best to justify your investment in me by making more awesome animations and such of excessively bulky women.

Thank you so much!
