Changing tiers (Poll)

Hello everyone.

First of all, as I have said many times before. I'm really grateful for your trust and support.

However, I've noted this flow with Patreon has taken more time than I planned to assign to it and in the long run, I feel it's not sustainable.

I'm not closing Patreon, but I realized I can't be doing lots of polls and exclusives

I constantly worry about the rewards being worth, and many of the times I feel I may not be giving my best.

The current flow is something like: 2 tiers, one for SFW and other for NSFW there is a voting, and pieces are eventually done. The main issue with this is that I spend too much time making the different polls, gathering the images to post them in the sta.sh/folder for easy access of the characters and elements involved in the pieces.

My plan is to reduce this workload and have thought of few alternatives. In all routes. The Comic of the month remains BTW

The proposals for the flow (how to work things out) are:

Flow A: Remove Level 2 and 3, patreon only is a supporter income and early access. (May be temporary) But with this I can focus better on my regular commissions. and other arts in general.

Flow B: Level 3 and 2 are merged (3 USD), I open 2 limited tiers for commissions (One with a frequent comm of 12-5 USD 3 slots and other 2 of 20-26 USD) are opened which would be the pieces of the month.

Flow C: Similar to the current flow, but tiers are now suggester (5 USD) and viewer/voter (3 USD). The suggestion and voting remains almost the same.

Flow D: Level 3 and 2 are merged (3 USD) The rest of the flow remains almost the same: There is a suggestion period, and a voting

Flow E: Level 3 and 2 are merged (3 USD) The suggestion part remains the same, but Lady luck plays favorites at times

For flows C, D, and E, The idea is:

Again, Patreon is meant to be a small support income, and I just realized it has been taking a lot of effort overall.

Few other things:

Finally, I personally would rather go for A or E, which would be "Everyone have the same chances", But Lady Luck sometimes plays favorites.

I'll leave a poll with various statements options/suggestions, please votes for the ones you consider apply to you/would make things work better.

Again, thanks for your time and sorry for this flood of questions:

Rotation may get a bit more complicated, but the idea is to give a cool down period to winners so others can win/increase other's chances

Voting for E! And yes, you should choose whatever idea calls your attention for the month

Seeing the options gave me one more idea: It could also be that you rotate through everyone on a given tier such that each month X number of them make a request for a piece and then once drawn they wait until the rotation goes through and they are up again. That reduces voting/management and is more equal.
