Goddamn It Patreon
Added 2017-12-08 19:47:48 +0000 UTCHi friends,
Just thought I'd shoot you a quick note addressing Patreon's very poorly conceived new policy of charging service fees to patrons. It's supposed to be good for creators by shifting the service fee burden from the creator to the patrons, but what Patreon isn't considering is that the patrons are their customers, and the creators' customers, and asking you all to pay a per-pledge fee is a terrible idea that disincentivizes supporting multiple creators.
The backlash directed at Patreon from creators and patrons alike has been massive, so hopefully they wise up and rescind this policy.
I just want to say thanks to all of you who have continued to support me despite Patreon's totally fumbling this.
