No Fee Change!
Added 2017-12-13 19:35:52 +0000 UTCHellooooo everybody!
I'm happy to say, that Patreon won't change the fee system this month!
When they announced the changes last week, I had quite mixed feelings. Less fees for my sounded great, but more fees for you seemed like an odd idea, especially since you would pay about 0.50$ more, but I would only get about 0.35$ more per pledge - smells a bit like Patreon just wanted a slightly bigger part of the cake. Also this new system would make the plattform for new members more complicated.
I'm pretty happy, that this change didn't affect your decision to support me. I "lost" only two patrons after the "Fee Change" announcment and I don't know if this was just a coinsicense, but some big creators posted screenshots of their page, showing large numbers of plegdes deleted, especially the smaller ones of 1 or 2$ and many people were afraid about the future of Patreon.
You can read Jack's statement on the official blog here.
Because of that, I'm really happy, that they won't change the fees! : )
Thank you a lot for your support, I'm so happy to have every single one of you here <3

I didn't receive any "official message" from Patreon about this ... it is odd that they contacted the "creators" and NOT the "patrons" of whom the patrons are the one's having "actual impact" upon the original changes - now I fear those who "unpledged" will still not return because they didn't get notified nor able to see this post from you.
