Subscriptions

Hello do you have idea of the coming MerMay 🧜🏼♂️ 😁
Shrew
Thank you! I'm pretty certain at this point that's the case for this situation, I'm glad I asked for clarification :)
Cavalierious
It's all good! Just focusing on writing and my own patreon/etc ahahaha. Like I said, I'll be back!
MonstersMashing
Like the others are saying, I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong! Your art is lovely and you always seem very conscious of your audience! It definitely sounds like a money thing with taxes and stuff 😭😂
Brooke Black
I’m sure it will pick back up in a month or 2
Shrew
Gotta love them :') I'm still pretty new to Patreon so I didn't realize the effect tax season would have, it completely slipped my mind
Shrew
I'm so sorry to hear that, best of luck!! <3
Brooke Black
Taxes 😢
Cavalierious
I lost my job, so that's why I had to. T_T I just can't afford the extra expense. I'll be back when I can!

yeah all the taxes are due April 15th so wshen people get paid end of March in the US they are facing due taxes for the previous year and they usually tighten their belts to afford the taxes they owe and it sometimes takes a few months for them to get back to fun spending
Kaelyn Iglesias
That's okay! Hopefully it's only a temporary stop for a bunch of them and you'll see a spike again in a few months
Shrew
I keep up to date with the exit surveys but this month had a notable increase of cancellations without any added surveys so I was a little confused. There have been some good explanations in the comments though so I'm glad I asked :D
Shrew
Thank you! A couple other people have brought up taxes as a reason, so that explains a lot :)
Shrew
Thank you! I'm glad it's still consistent, I know I've made some changes to the content recently and sometimes that can put people off
Shrew
Tax season is a great reason, I'm still pretty new to Patreon so it hadn't occurred to me that that would have such a big effect! Plus being outside of the US, I don't experience it the same way myself :')
Shrew
Please don't feel sorry, I totally understand! Art is a luxury, especially something subscription-based like this, so I'm grateful for everyone who chooses to pay for it no matter how long <3 Thank you so much for your support, I hope all goes well for you
Shrew
Thank you so much, I appreciate all your support! <3 I look forward to being able to rewelcome you in the future
Shrew
Oh shoot that's right, I didn't realize tax season was happening in the US! That explains a lot, I haven't been on Patreon long enough to experience the effect of that before :O
Kaelyn Iglesias
I doubt it's something on your end. I know a lot of people in my circles in the us owe taxes all of sudden and that's causing everyone to tighten our financial belts up.
Alyssa Prudat
Your art is amazing!! I have $100 to get me through two weeks tho so I’m going to re-subscribe later :’)
Breenpies
Doubt it. Honestly I'm about to have to tighten the financial belt myself. Your art is amazing! I'm just a struggling single mom though. 💔 sorry
Lauren Smith
I saw a ton of my own patreons leave. It's always at the end of a month. Alot of people have their year end taxes due in the US and you often see cancelations around tax time
Mary of the Grapefruit
Dude seriously your art shows what your patreon is all about
Mary of the Grapefruit
Yep nothing you did wrong
Static
I suspect it's just that the economy is rough for everyone, so belts are tightening. Everything you've posted seems in line with previous posts!
Chrinos Art
Just the average Patreon flow of members. They come and go. You can check in your Audience->Exit Surveys tab to see what motivations were behind the leaving.
Shrew
It's totally okay for people to cancel, I don't want anyone to feel guilty! But it's also good for me to know if I've done something you don't like
