Changing charge date for NEW patrons

Added 2022-11-07 22:39:13 +0000 UTC

If you are a current patron, this change will not affect you! For new patrons, (or if you unpledge and sign up again later) the date you're charged for my patreon will now be the date you sign up, instead of on the first every month.

Right now, everyone is charged on the first of the month, which seems convenient in theory, but I think being charged on your sign up date is more practical for users. For example, if you sign up on the 23rd, you'll be charged again on the 23rd the following month.

Patreon recently gave creators the option to switch to this method, and after consideration I think this will work better for patrons! This avoids what feels like 'double charges' when you join at the end of the month, and then are charged again at the start of the month. And this way, I feel better about promoting my patreon throughout the month instead of only at the start of the month, as it feels more like you're getting the same 'value' now no matter when you pledge.

Just letting y'all know about the change!
