Changing Patreon to charging-up-front
🕑 Added 2016-05-25 21:42:34 +0000 UTC Hi crew!So here's the short of the long of it: every time I make an update I get at least two fake pledges (usually at a pretty high tier). I'm at the point where I'm losing an it's-not-funny-anymore amount of money to scammy fake accounts and at a glance I honestly can't tell who's real and who's a bot, so to mitigate this I'm going to be changing my Patreon to the new charging-when-you-subscribe option that Patreon is rolling out.
If you're already subscribed to my Patreon this will not change anything for you! I just wanted to make a public statement/post about it, and I'm sorry it had to come to this. Bots and scammers, y'know? What can ya do.
Take care!

I'm sorry to hear that you've had bots scamming you out of money! That's really uncool. I'm a v. new subscriber (found your comic about a year ago and didn't check back until just now; happy to see you've got a Patreon!)
It sucks that the bots and scammers are so willing to take advantage of people's good will, but I'm happy there's a system you can use to keep from being taken advantage of! Keep being awesome. :)
