Don't Punish Me For Patreon's BS.

If Patreon does something you don't like please move your support over to subscribestar. Every time one of these companies does something to upset people creators get punished. I'm getting so sick of having to worry about it all the time. If you don't want to use subscribestar, use paypal. If you don't want to use paypal then tell what you do want to use. I'll set up a damn account.
It could not be easier to contact me if you want to move your support to some other platform. I'm around virtually every hour of the day that I'm not sleeping. A few years ago I could just say that you reading the comic was enough, but Google destroyed advertising on websites, so just reading isn't enough anymore. Even with a huge fanbase you can't generate enough income to sustain most things.
Betweenfailures@hotmail is the paypal for the site. You can set up recurring donations pretty easily. If enough people do that I'll just set up a little side area for extra content somehow.
Anyway, I just wanted to make people aware of alternate ways to support me before this deteriorated any further.

My wild suggestion to you Jackie - get a Post Office box, and let people send their donations directly to you. Another thing - it is perfectly legal to put cash (well, paper currency) in an envelope and mail it. Either way, cash or checks, no overhead, commissions, fees, or taxes involved. Just the price of the PO box, which is quite reasonable.

2021-02-25 01:27:11 +0000 UTCI actually unsubscribed because I can't afford it right now. Once I have gainful employment again, I'll be back.

2021-02-21 12:42:32 +0000 UTCI'm donating here and at Subscibestar already.

2021-02-18 19:31:50 +0000 UTCI'll definitely being staying here unless you move, Jackie. For my part, I'd love to kick another couple bucks a month in if you had another slightly higher tier, and I bet a number of your other subscribers feel the same.

2021-02-18 19:06:27 +0000 UTCThe accusation is that Patreon is funding alt right groups & I can’t find any proof of this anywhere. The company leans as far left as you can without falling over.

2021-02-18 08:11:23 +0000 UTCI’m not moving to subscibestar I’m just pointing it out for people who have a problem with Patreon

2021-02-18 08:09:18 +0000 UTCJust trying to figure out how to make the transition with the least discomfort. I'll definitely follow you to <i>Subscribestar,</i> though.

2021-02-18 00:00:48 +0000 UTCIs patreon doing more BS? Honestly, the last time they were doing stuff, I started gathering Paypal addresses for the people I support, and I was going to start sending yearly payments equivalent to 12x what I was giving monthly to each... and just handle it myself with a spreadsheet. That way it would minimize the losses to approval fees and the like.

2021-02-17 09:19:42 +0000 UTCWell... My subscription is going away... but only because I'm switching accounts (this one depends on facebook and the FB-Banhammer trigger has been quite light these days), so I'll see you next month with a different face :D Honestly, from all comics I support via patreon, yours is the last I would drop.

2021-02-17 08:48:42 +0000 UTCI actually don’t know. That’s just the reason people are giving for leaving in the exit surveys.
Jackie Wohlenhaus
2021-02-17 08:40:40 +0000 UTCI'll continue to support how I can.

2021-02-17 03:44:16 +0000 UTCAs long as you're putting all of your extra content here I will remain here. If this for some odd reason has you put your adult content over on subscribestar I'll go over there. I just be honest I like what you draw. Adults all ages or otherwise. So here I am.

2021-02-17 03:17:06 +0000 UTCIt's always the creators that get shafted. Not for nothing but seeing how many stirps you put out weekly I'd bump up to 5$. After all, for years I didn't pay anything.

2021-02-17 02:45:03 +0000 UTCSupposedly funding far right groups, but I can tell you unequivocally that they aren’t doing it on purpose. I’ve never worked with a more “woke” company.
Jackie Wohlenhaus
2021-02-17 02:21:13 +0000 UTCwhat have they done/are planning on doing now?

2021-02-17 02:16:27 +0000 UTCI'll move over to Subscribstar just in case

2021-02-17 02:05:19 +0000 UTCWell don’t tell Patreon that because they’re likely to say “Hold my beer.”
