Patreon Updated to Subscription Billing
🕑 Added 2022-09-26 18:27:42 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Patreon recently updated their settings so you can be billed on the same date you signed up rather than the 1st of each month
I would have to opt in to this system, but it's a permanent change once I do so I wanted to put up a poll before pulling the trigger
SO, individualized subscription billing or stay as is?

I like having the lump sum charge to my account at the start of each month for purposes of tracking credit card activity, but aside from that, it doesn't matter to me. How a content creator decides to bill supporters doesn't affect my decision on whether to support them

My first thought (and vote) was original as Patreon handles all the backend. But then it occurred to me that the main benefit of switching is to you: revenue comes earlier. Unless Patreon keeps it and pays you once per month. Which they probably do now, keeping the interest for themselves. So no change for me then, but will also go with your choice since I’m here to support -you-

I’m pretty ambivalent tbh so I’m happy to go with the consensus
