Patreon Payments

I just looked at my emails and saw this post, read it and shook my head, thinking who would do that? Then went back to my email and saw an email from patreon letting me know my payment had failed! so i was one of those people :( completely unintentional though, i immediately fixed it up. So sorry about that

This practice of watching then quiting the channel is much like dine & dash and it should be illegal but I have never and a would never do that although total transparency here I did quit two reactors after I payed last month bc the content was almost nonexistent which I'm not paying for nothing right but I would never do that to you Shan bc you just like the other reactors I watch(The Sororos💙and Dakara Jane💜)are very considerate of us who spend our hard earned money to see you guys react to some of our favorite shows so Thank You and I'm Sorry you have to deal with people who are like that but not all of us are and I can relate to taking care of parent which I did with my mom & it's tough but it does bring you closer to them and you can learn who that parent is as a person it can be really cool have great weekend sweetie!!!💜😎💯✌🌟🌻

I think I saw Torchwood Boy got the option to have patreons pay in advance when they sign up. Hopefully this option becomes available to you soon too :)

They can just create new accounts and do the same thing again, not a very effective method. Patreon should have some system to work around this where you are charged as soon as you pay for the month.

That's a terrible way to get extra content. I'm sorry to hear that people think it's okay to cheat you. Hopefully you can get someone from Patreon to help figure who the people are and maybe warn them of doing it again or removing their accounts.

Hopefully you can get in touch with someone and get it changed to where people who sign up to your Patreon are charged right away. Regardless, it sucks that this is happening to you. Something tells me this happens with a lot of other creators as well which begs the question as to why Patreon continues to let this happen.

I can't believe this is still happening. What a bunch of assholes

It's really disheartening, I totally get you. Another person I pledge to, is dealing with similar problem, and she came with temporal solution, which was sending people (the patreons that stay and pay), individual links to the episodes of the biggest show she is react to (since most people pledge to watch that show with along with her). But I know it's more time consuming this way, and an additional work for her :/

I for one would have been happy to pay up front. This is a loophole Patreon needs to close. Perhaps a one episode sampler before being charged?

It sucks, heard a lot of patreon people make the same complaint. Some people are just heartless, and see it as 'gaming the system', rather than ripping people off. I hope Patreon makes it easier to guard against.

According to the following link. Send s message to support requesting to be evaluated for access to charge up front. The link specifically mentions asking to be forwarded to Carla B. in Marketing to handle the request. Worth a shot I guess. They should really make the option available to everyone. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/8d7qrc/what_to_do_when_charge_upfront_is_not_an_option/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/8d7qrc/what_to_do_when_charge_upfront_is_not_an_option/</a>

I believe you've already given two warnings about this. That's more than enough. Are you able to ban them from signing up again?

I am so sorry to hear that. This has happened to others too so I'm glad that you came forward and told us that it was happening because this a serious matter that needs to be addressed with everyone that has a Patreon.

I think you something blue reaction was worth the money

Jason Short

Only certain users have this option, I do not.

It sucks the people do that I would give you more if can I love you reaction

Jason Short

I know Simple Reactions has his Patreon set up so that users have to pay right when they sign up and then again on the 1st of the month. If you did this, there would be no way to scam you. If they did cancel, they would just have to pay again when they resubscribe.

I am so sorry. That really sucks.

If only it were that simple

After Show Reactions

Do you at least get their names so you can block them if they try to sign up again?
