CHANGES IN TIERS, WILL BE ONLY ONE - 1$ PER CREATION
🕑 Added 2025-07-01 08:30:48 +0000 UTCHello. After some time, I still think that I should leave one single membership level, since even taking into account the description of how everything works, some people have encountered problems with unexpected overpayments and many people, out of a desire to support more strongly than others, choose higher plans, but because of this they leave after month or few, since the emotional moment of the desire to support ends one way or another and a rational approach to finances encourages people to cancel subscription. I still prefer a cheap subscription, thanks to which a person can stay for way longer without worrying that they will spend a lot more of money on subscriptions than they expecting, if suddenly I decide to do double the norm of works in 1 month, on average I do 5-6 posts per month, but sometimes I can do 8-10 or more. I have been collecting statistics for a long time and came to the conclusion that the best option would be to remove all subscription levels except the most basic one, for $ 1. This way people won't have to worry about being charged a lot of money when I do more works than I usually do and they won't have to unsubscribe at the end of the month to avoid overpayments. I also track statistics like this, because there are people who intentionally cancel their minimum membership payment so that they won't be charged at the end of the month for paid posts they had access to the whole month. I ban such people without the possibility of unbanning them, but a similar situation with overpayments due to people's immediate desire to support with a larger amount at once breaks these statistics a little, and I've already encountered a situation where I banned 3 people based on statistics that usually characterize those who are trying to cheat. Two of these people turned out to be clowns pretending to be fools when asking why i banned them, and the third person really didn't expect to be charged a larger amount of money than they expected, so I unbanned the person and returned them some money back, but such moments need to be kept to a minimum, so in the aggregate of all these variables I made such a decision.
Therefore, I appeal to those who currently have a Membership of more than $ 1 Tier, change your Memberships to the $ 1 Tier, so that after deleting all other subscription levels, you do not have any bugs or problems with canceling a subscription for these deleted tiers. Perhaps there are no such problems, but I'd better insure people by warning them in advance so that if something like this does exist on Patreon, then my audience would not have such problems, or have as less of them as possible.
On July 6th I will make another reminder post, and on July 7th I will remove all subscription levels except the basic one(1$ per creation). This way it will be more simple and transparent for people to subscribe, and I hope that audience retention will be better than it is now.
