(IMPORTANT) Updates Regarding Content Access

Hi all,

First, let me reassure that I am NOT IMPLEMENTING NEW PAYWALLS. All content will still be accessible from the minimum pledge. That said. Because of how Patreon's changed their system, I have to change some things around these parts. Lemme break down what's happened.

So, Patreon's switched to their "new Patreon" system, and part of that is that tiers are now a necessity to be able to separate content by paid/unpaid. And furthermore, because tiers are required, custom pledges may not seen as a form of 'membership.'

I do not want to lock content behind tiers, and I do not want to force people out of flexibility with their pledge amounts. Unfortunately, it seems like Patreon REALLY wants to do this, so here's the gist of things.

As a paid member, you may need to choose the appropriate tier that matches your pledge to continue accessing paid content. I've attempted to make many options available so there will be no major difference in how much you're paying, so please choose what matches your current pledge closest.

There are tiers for for $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $7.50, $10, and $20 in USD. If you're at an amount not included - such as $15, $6, $8, etc - then please choose what you are most comfortable with. If you have to downgrade, that's fine. I've chosen these amounts purely based on what numbers occur the most.

This is all that's changed. All content will still still be accessible by all tiers. And if you can still continue to access content without using a tier, then please feel free to do so. I don't know the specifics of the system, all I know is I was locked out of creating paywall posts until I made tiers.

If you want an alternate platform to donate on, please consider Ko-Fi. You will receive the same benefits, and it supports PayPal and Stripe for bank/card processing. This may also make it more friendly to currencies besides USD. https://ko-fi.com/ameliedoree

I am deeply, deeply sorry for the inconvenience, and especially to those who are not from the US who have to deal with clunky currency conversions, as well as those who are donating under $1 USD. I have absolutely no control over these changes, and I'm incredibly frustrated and saddened by all of this.

If you need any help, please do not hesitate to message me.

Thanks, and again, I'm very sorry for any trouble.

this is kind of like a "monkey paw" way but for the last weeks I was considering donating more to your patreon but I couldn't find a way to change the amount on my membership like with other creators so I kinda just forgot and leaved it like that...it seems that I got my wish granted in the weirdest way possible.

Seriously, greed is a disgusting trait on these sites. Thank you for this update.

I am glad you took the time to make sure your content is as available as possible for all tiers. Unfortunately I can’t pay much more than I already do (I am not from the US and the dollar is extremely high right now) but I like to support my favorite creators as much as I can ❤️

Appreciate all the tiers available, sucks Patreon is forcing this on creators like yourself. I hope this change doesn't hurt your bottom line.

don't you just love how so many silicon valley tech sites are committed to making the worst and most ineffective stupid decisions ever

What the good goddamn? I don't understand how Patreon seems determined to torpedo their own site. Anyway, pledge updated, thanks for the heads up!

Patreon is dumb but I think you handling it the best way you could. Lots of props for the open communication.

Patreon is so annoying. I don't get why they thought that giving users less flexibility would be well-received, but here we are :/ I'm glad to see that you're making the most of it, though!
