David, i case you're checking this post regularly, same as above) » Oh, Patreon, usually I'd give you feedback: 1) I quit (just for now!) b/c Patreon. 2) I see the $5 strips, since it's still December. 3) Above, I see "News flash! If you become a patron to David M Willis, you’ll immediately …" – see the strips I see 🤔

2017-12-15 17:16:58 +0000 UTCWhat processing fee issue?

2017-12-15 02:19:22 +0000 UTCYay! I've not only reinstated my pledge, but I've increased it, to cover the processing fee issue (of which I was previously insensible). It's still miniscule, but I'm sure the pennies add up. (I'm also going to look and see who else might use some of my pennies)

2017-12-15 00:45:38 +0000 UTCI've reinstated my monthly $5 pledge as a result of Patreon's decision to reverse their awful decision. But we still know they want to make changes, and I'll be scrutinizing any changes to the payment scheme they make. In the meantime, I don't want to continue punishing creators for a decision they did not make or even agree to. Glad to renew my support, Mr. Willis.

2017-12-14 04:58:21 +0000 UTCWell... I can't change right back to the ten dollar pledge, or even five right now. But that's good, because y means getting back on that wagon shouldn't take as long

2017-12-14 01:31:19 +0000 UTCI'm glad they didn't just say fuck you and get on with it, and I like their apology. They owned it pretty well, unlike a good many public apologies I've seen/heard over the years.

2017-12-13 21:58:50 +0000 UTCIt's nice to see that Patreon is able to listen to their users (creators and patrons), some organisations can be unreasonably stubborn when faced with this kind of backlash. I'm happy Patreon is not one of them ! I'll be reinstating the small donations I had cancelled tomorrow.

2017-12-13 21:33:15 +0000 UTCAlso - damn, that's one quick recovery, Willis. You were down to 1853 patrons and $4870 (from $5008 when I started keeping track).

2017-12-13 19:05:30 +0000 UTCIs it true? That page isn't loading for me ... maybe they are swamped with people trying to see their answer!
