Patreon Changes, News for US supporters: 12:00am JST tonight
Added 2020-05-29 06:41:33 +0000 UTCI wanted to do this live so I can take questions and see how you feel. On July 1st, Patreon will add sales tax % (depending on your state) to the amount. I don’t think they had a choice and held it off as long as they could. Click the video play button to see your local time. Thank you! -John

Hi John,

2020-06-05 01:06:07 +0000 UTCLOL.. John... I started watching but fell asleep on you after a couple minutes (1am)... your voice must be soothing... technically I think I was there as it must have been playing on my iPad the entire stream, that’s why you could sense me 😆... no need to apologise about the package, not your fault mate! Thanks for always thinking of me... but eating my dessert.?! 😱😭..LOL 😆

2020-05-29 14:32:28 +0000 UTCThe sales tax doesn't bother me. But if my husband doesn't go back to work soon, we might have to drop out for a few months. I'm working, so won't be able to join in live. I'll catch the reply later today. TGIF peeps😁

2020-05-29 14:24:56 +0000 UTCWell this is an interesting development. How is Patreon determining this? Shipping/Billing Address? Country of Payment Method (a US credit card vs. HK credit card)? Would the rates vary depending on which creator ships where? Depending on the situation, this might be legally avoidable.

2020-05-29 12:31:55 +0000 UTCI was expecting this. All major internet retailers have done it during this “virus crisis”. Greedy bastards were mad at internet commerce not paying their “dues”.
