Added 2016-12-02 19:04:52 +0000 UTCEdit: Check out this more in-depth post for better details, it's not as big of a change as it might sound: https://www.patreon.com/posts/full-update-long-5447715
Firstly, let me start by saying this really only applies to new patrons, and if old patrons change their tier.
Patreon now has offered a new update, while I kind of didn't mean to jump right into it, hopefully it's all changes for the better, but starting today, new patrons will have their pledges processed right away when they sign up, and any increase in pledge value will have the difference processed immediately. This doesn't change much for existing patrons. So if you change your pledge from 5$ to 10$ for example, you'll only be charged 5$, then on the next 1st of the month, charged the normal 10$. Minus the pledge increase part, this really isn't all that different for existing patrons. You will still get charged on the 1st of each month.

Speaking which:
There are a lot of you beautiful peeps that wont be getting the full patreon experience unless you edit your pledges.
Patrons staying at $1 will not have to worry, but the benefits have lessened (sorry!) but anyone that is backing more than $3 that still has their reward set at $1 will not be getting their full benefits! oh no!
For those of you that are pledging $2, $4, or $24 you might want to consider moving up one dollar in order to get the next tier's rewards (just an idea <3)
TL;DR: Not much has changed for you existing patron guys and girls. Only difference is changes in pledge amounts happen immediately. New patrons will get charged right away. Can get rewards right away.
