Animation WIPs & Important Patreon News
🕑 Added 2024-08-27 02:55:53 +0000 UTCHi all,
Here's a little preview video of some of the Season 1 animation underway. Some of you have seen some of this already, but Fable edited together a compilation recently to share with YouTube Channel Members, so I decided I'd share it with Patrons too.
Which brings me to the next thing...
----------------------
We've just opened up YouTube Channel Memberships. YouTube Members will get some exclusive behind the scenes previews and private livestreams just like Patrons get. (The Patron streams will remain separate from the Youtube Member streams.)
I am not telling you about this because I expect anyone to subscribe to both. There is a reason we've decided to open YouTube Memberships that you should know about as Patreon users, though.
Bear with me...
1.) Starting in November, Apple will be charging its 30% App Store fee to new pledges made through the Patreon iOS app. That 30% is either collected through a charge to new Patrons, or it's taken from what the Creator earns, depending on which way the Creator decides to levy the burden. It's important to emphasize that if you're an existing Patron, this won't affect your pledges! You won't incur new fees. You don't have to do anything or change anything about what you're doing.
If you're planning to support other Creators or make other new pledges, though, you might want to switch to an account managed via desktop browser or mobile browser to bypass the iOS app fees.
---------------
2.) Apple is also forcing all Patreon Creators to switch to the subscription model of billing in order to remain compatible with the iOS method of charging. Since its inception, this Patreon account has done first-of-the-month billing. The switch will mean charges will instead happen each month on the date of your initial pledge. If you pledged on the 10th of the month, the next month's charge will also happen on the 10th.
So, if you see a change in the date on which you are billed on come November, don't panic. Charges will still only happen once a month.
It's just the effects of us all getting shoved around and pinched by a megacorporation. You know, just another Tuesday.

-----------------------
Anyway, this Patreon will continue updating several times each month as usual. I have no plans to stop or pull back - if anything, I'd like to share more things more often. But because I do expect the upcoming changes to have an overall detrimental impact on Patreon support, we decided to branch out a little with YouTube Memberships. If you're interested in what that offers, visit the Lackadaisy YouTube page and click on the 'Join' button (it's next to the Subscribe button) to see a breakdown of the perks.

Lacy scene spotted!!!! Sorry for the crummy treatment from the Patreon overlords, though I’m glad I’ve stuck to browser mode all this time (if I have to install one more dang app—)

My favorite is the rat with the gun 🤣

This looks fantastic! It’s amazing to see what was ounce an amazing comic turn into an equally amazing show! The Rats look adorable (despite violating every health code imaginable)! When and where can I sigh up for YouTube membership?

The actual powers behind the St. Louis crime world!

While one should never be fair to a mega Corp, #2 is something Patreon’s been trying to force on creators for years. I assume that since creators still only get paid once a month, they get to hang onto your money for longer and get some free interest. This is just a smokescreen they’re “blaming” on Apple.

Yeeees, More please!

Ah! I'm so excited to see how all this goes! Absolutely love Rocky's motions of rushing out of the car from Victor! Kind of glad I'm not impacted by the mess iOS is causing, but I hope everyone that does use it can get around the percentage charge

Good thing I don't use any app if I can help it, much less iOS! Almost makes me want to un-buy my new(ish) iPad =p
Kintor
Just got my Rocky and Freckle standees today, I want to say that they both look amazing! Anyway, I mainly access Patreon with PC so this news doesn't directly affect me. Regardless, I hope that Apple's strong arm tactics don't impact creators too much.
