NOTICE: I've said this on Subscribestar so -
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 04:00:04 +0000 UTCJust so everyone knows, I AM monitoring who leaves without paying for the previous month. It's hard to get by as is. I still have my bad share of ditched payments, cancellations, and declines here in Patreon - whether I update very often or not - but seeing how severely disadvantaged my SubscribeStar has gotten, I'm putting my feet down. Losing 1/3 of my subscribers a day before monthly billing is bullshit.
I can't stress enough I live with and have a very rowdy family, shit goes on daily - I mean DAILY. If the words 'needy' and 'clueless' had a photoset, it would be my family. Only male in the household, sister's hardly responsible but at the least she tries, but my mother's a chaotic blend of misery - a demanding, careless, loud and casually angry womanchild. I cannot work on my laptop, chat whenever peers want me to, and cater to her beck and call with her general craziness at the exact same time without losing whatever grip I have on sanity - and she will go out of her way to make it work in her favor beyond all reason... I HAVE TO GET AWAY from this.
I'm doing my best to improve and do more but there's only so far I can go with a $200 laptop that wasn't even refurbished properly. I can only get better when my monthly incomes aren't mucked around like this every month.
I said nothing before as a benefit of the doubt but now advantages are clearly being taken - It's bad enough the minimum payout in SubStar is $150 before I can even request a payout at all and I'm hardly ever close to do just that.
What's really blowing my mind is the fact of the last 20 arts for Mayternity - would have been 31 if this screw-up hadn't occurred - were all tiered for $1 or free for patrons. They could have just switched to the $1 tier for a steal - That was fully expected, not unsubscribe completely to skip out of paying. This fucked up everything I had planned...
Platform Fees and Payout Fees are crazy right now.
At this point, I'm either banning and blocking repeat offenders (I can SEE YOUR USERNAMES in my emails and notifications) or I'm setting up auto-pay for every subscription - and that option is permanent here on Patreon.
I've been more than fair up to now but something needs to change if I'm expected to keep drawing. Or else disappear like every other creator who's been ripped off endlessly.
I don't need this right now. Don't make me say this again.

Was I on that list? I usually just subscribe for the the month and then cancel my subscription so i don't get any surprise payments, I thought you were still getting the money I subscribed for. If there were times that It didn't give you the money I can pay you what I owe on my PayPal account if you have history of my canceled payments.

That's fine work needs to be compensated. Expect to pay if you join. Simple as that.
