You're Gonna Get An Email From Patreon

It'll be optimistically worded. Something about how creators now take home a bigger cut. What that means is they've decided to raise prices for you without consulting with us. If you pay 5 dollars a month, it'll now be adjusted to roughly $5.50. There's no way for us to opt out of this. There's no way for us to swallow their new costs. I don't approve of it, I don't like it, and I've complained. The worst part is this money isn't even going into Patreon's pockets - they're just shifting the payment processing fees from us to you. This change is solely to appease the braying anime accounts that have convinced everyone that they're victims because their business has overhead. Literally the only people supporting this decision  are pokemon socialists that are "tired of being called greedy" because they have to pay taxes on the public facing number on their Patreon page.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. I might lower prices to 4.50 a month and then go back and change all the posts so people can access it at that price. But I would have no way of manually going in and changing the amount of your pledges. It would be on each individual subscriber to go do that themselves. You'd still be charged the new rate.

I'm writing this because I'm mad right now and I haven't consulted with Stav and Adam about it or what we should do. It could be no big deal. Some of you might not care. Some of you are millionaires. But I know I've had to personally refund people that have had their accounts overdrawn by 5 dollars when they were charged early. I remember being broke. I remember how much 5 dollars a month can be for some people. And I don't forget that the only reason it isn't anymore is because you guys support a show that you could easily steal.

Anyways I'm sorry if this fucks with any of your finances. And if any of you have to delete your subscription because of it, let me know.

(And by let me know, of course, I mean one of you take the initiative and figure out some kind of tally because I only care enough to apologize to you en masse than respond to each and every one of you personally.)
