🕑 Added 2024-10-27 00:32:03 +0000 UTCTL;DR Patreon needs to change to Subscription Based Billing Because of Apple. This change starts November 2024. Read for more information: https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon
You may or may not have heard, Apple has recently released a change to their billing system which has affected Patreon. Starting November 2024, Patreon is now being required by Apple to switch to Subscription Based Billing. This means that instead of your pledge taking effect for the month you paid, it will instead take effect starting from the date you paid and 30 days/1month from there.
I won't be doing end-of-the-month redistributions anymore when this change starts because its purpose was to accommodate for the first-of-the-month billing method.
I would wanna avoid adding too much scheduled routines so I don't have to sacrifice creative freedom, so I'm not really sure what changes I have to do when it comes to distributions via DMs, but I'll try to spread out my full illustration posts as much as I can to make sure you guys still get two of them (as promised) within 30 days.
You can let me know what you think in the comments, especially if I've missed something đ
Thank you so much, fellas. I really appreciate your support!

Maybe a bit, but it's just for the first month. And since you communicate clearly, there's no bad surprises for people who subscribed mid-month expecting the rewards. Just one opinion among others though ^^

the thought did cross my mind but won't that be a bit constraining for u guys as the subscribers?

I've seen creators just advising their subscribers, via pinned message or otherwise, to pledge on the first of the month to work around this. Just try to make it easier for you first and subscribers will accomodate
