Patreon will NOT be rolling out fee changes
🕑 Added 2017-12-13 21:59:49 +0000 UTC Hey guys! Still working on more Rock Cocks right now, just giving you all a quick update about a very important blog post Patreon posted today. You can read it all here.So, in short, Patreon has apologized and will not be rolling out fee changes. You will continue to pay exactly what you pledge, just as you always did. You pledged $1? You PAY $1. Good on Patreon for actually listening to the VERY justified outrage, both from creators and especially from patrons. Of course, this would never have happened if they had actually consulted any of us first, but they did acknowledge that particular part of their fuckup so I won't hold it against them.
What sucks is that in just going ahead and trying to roll with it, we (not just Leslie and I, but creators all across the board) lost a ton of patrons that we will probably never get back because they no longer trust Patreon itself, and rightfully so. So many people that would totally want to support their favorite creators, but just don't want to be subjected to Patreon's shit. It sucks, it was a terrible mistake on Patreon's part, and it's going to take a long time and a lot of effort on their part to make it up to everyone.
Anyway, the damage has been done but at least it won't be permanent. Thankfully, we got an influx of new Patrons to make up for those that dropped out (hello, all you new peeps!), not to mention all you guys who stuck around and even upped your pledges. Thank you all so much for toughing it out with us even after all this Patreon drama! We can't make this comic without your incredible support, and now Patreon's learned a hard lesson that it can't do what it does without ALL of our support.
See you soon with some new art, available for ALL Patrons!

Still going to keep my payments upped because I love you guys but I'm super glad they changed it back. The email they sent out about it was pretty cute too, apologizing for their mistake and saying creators shouldn't suffer for it. Super glad they listened. A lot of companies don't anymore.
