Okay Disregard What I Said Yesterday
🕑 Added 2017-12-08 19:25:57 +0000 UTCNew plan: I'm changing the tiers to be adjusted for the fees so you won't be paying any extra.
HOWEVER, I still am almost certainly switching to monthly payments. My reason for doing this is because a $1 pledge CANNOT be adjusted for fees since $1 is the minimum amount that can be pledged. There is no way to negate the fees on a $1 pledge, thus we can get around it by changing the $1 weekly pledge into a $4 monthly pledge. Here's how it works:
The new lowest tier pledge will be $3.55 a month. With the new fees added you'll pay exactly $4 a month, the same as if you had pledged $1 all month under my old system.
The new middle tier pledge will be $11.32 a month, which becomes $12 a month when you add the fees.
The new highest tier pledge will be $19.09 a month, which becomes $20 a month when you add the fees.
I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier but this seems like the perfect way to do things. Since I'll be getting a higher cut of the pledges it should offset the reduced pledge amounts to the point where the difference in what I make will be marginal.
So, we're PROBABLY still switching to monthly payments next month (unless the new fee system gets shot down or someone finds and even better way around it). But, fortunately, nobody will be paying any extra compared to what you would already pay to get the full month's rewards. It will be the exact same amount, just in one payment instead of four.
I'm still going to add in the weekly color doodle for all tiers, though, since I need some extra content. Sorry if I worried anyone yesterday, I see I already lost a couple of patrons but I hope they come back once they know about this new idea.

I'm really just trying to maintain the status quo. We had a good thing going here, I kinda wish Patreon had left everything alone but at least we figured out a decent workaround.
It's going to start next month. I'll make several posts reminding everybody so don't worry.

When can we expect the adjusted Patreon tiers?

Thank you for this! I was really worried with the new charges putting me over my pledge budget, I'm hoping some of the other artists I pledge to might do this or else I still might be forced to drop one or two of them but the fact you went to all the trouble of working this out for us fills me with hope that it will work out.
