Regarding $5's and $10's Early Chapters

Alright! So, basically, how this works now is that I post new chapters for the $10 tier, and each time a new $10 tier chapter gets posted, the oldest one gets opened to the $5 tier.

There are a few potential problems with this, so any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

My concerns are:

1. I'm pretty sure from a test I did that, when an old post gets bumped down to a lower tier, subscribers of that tier don't get notified of a new post being available. It would also be behind all other updates on their dashboard from my understanding.

2. Because of that, $5 subscribers (AKA most of you) may not realize new updates are out and stop giving me monies because you think I'm not rewarding you like I'm supposed to coughcough.

3. It might be annoying for $5 subscribers to have to scroll down past 7 locked updates to get to the one open to them. I don't know if this sort of thing is seen as annoying or not on Patreon since I've never really done this before, but I don't want anything to be annoying nor inconvenient. 

The simplest solution would be to post older chapters twice, once for the $10 tier and then seven days later for the $5 tier. However, this would result in the $10+ tier getting spammed with updates they have already seen and also cluttering up the Patreon with double posts. If somebody subscribes to either tier and then wants to sort by the TTE tag to go and find all the chapters, things would look out of order and confusing if everything is posted twice. You know what I mean?

Anyways, I promise that the $5 tier isn't being forgotten even if you might not necessarily be getting notifications. Advanced chapters are still available for you! I just opened up two more chapters to the $5 tier today.

If anybody has an opinion about this, you're more than welcome to let me know!
