Patreon Changes, And What They Mean For You.
🕑 Added 2017-12-07 13:33:06 +0000 UTC Hi folks, come to give some bad news. Patreon's incoming changes, if you're someone who donates small amounts (<$5) are... Not good. Essentially, rather than taking an amount from what *I* get (Which is how Paypal business transactions work, and the like), they're shifting that so that, when you pay $1, they're adding a service fee onto *your* donation.Yeah, okay, that means more for me. But that's at the expense of folks who want to pay X, but are, from December 18th, going to be paying X + 2.9% + $0.35 for every patron donation.
Needless to say, I would perfectly understand if your donations went down, or, in the case of small donations (the under $5 crowd), went altogether, and I shall try and keep you posted as to whether this change (due, as noted, December 18th, so in time for next month) gets rolled back, because it's proven *distinctly* unpopular now that it's out there.
Wishing you well, folks, and have a good christmas, the reviews are continuing, I just thought I'd give you a fair heads up!
Jamie, TMW.
