Regarding about Patreon changes in the future
🕑 Added 2017-12-12 08:13:37 +0000 UTCSo, i saw a video explaining why the change is really bad for patrons.
In short, patrons pays more than ussual, because instead of the creators that pay those small fees, the patrons are the one who paid it instead
So for example:
a 1 dollar pledge cost 1 dollar for patrons, would give me 0,77 dollar, since im (creators) the one that pays the small fees for patreon and paypal
In the future, patrons will pay 1,22$ (more or less, since i forgot on how much) for pledging 1 dollar, and i get clean 1 dollar for 1 dollar pledge. Which is bad for you instead of me.
I would gladly pay those small fees instead of you actually, i don't really complain for that small money lost, as long you guys are happy and not being weighted down too much for just giving me a dollar per month, then im happy too...

I don't mind paying a little bit more, honestly. Mind you, you're the only person I'm supporting thus far. But yeah, I can see why this might be a bit of a bad thing for others.

What raptor said is accurate. Also, for people in Europe (like me), there is VAT on top, so $1 donation costs me $1.65 and you get $0.95. It's madness. I'm waiting to see how this shakes out. A lot of people are stopping their patreon donations, and creators are looking for other platforms. I might have to reconsider as well. I'm supporting 34 people, most at $1, so this is a really shitty change for me. Also, for the record, you were getting $0.85-$0.87 before the change, not $0.77. So, now you get $0.10 more, but we pay $0.38 more :D

i read its more like .95 for the creator / 1.38 for the patron. sucks big time for all the small tip patreons
