★New Patreon Fees....?
🕑 Added 2017-12-06 22:05:38 +0000 UTC So....it looks like everyone will be getting an email tomorrow from Patreon outlining some new fees.....For full disclosure, I am posting the email that Creators received.
I am actually quite disappointed with how this was handled, as I believed it was only fair for the Creator to handle the fees, but....well...........
We're currently discussing this both on the Patreon community forum boards, and my Discord, so you are all more than welcome to join in with any concerns, or if you just want to chat!

Wow I haven’t gotten that email yet but fucking hell its hard enough for us who are lesser known to even get supporters now it’s going to be even harder I don’t care about making a couple extra bucks I would rather pay it myself since I am the one hosting the patreon page. It’s nice enough people want to give me support I can’t expect them to pay extra cuz that’s just greedy.

This will officially make a $10 pledge closer to a $15 dollar pledge than 10 for me. I'd already have to pay $10 + 25% VAT + 5% fee. I assume the fee will be applied after VAT so that will turn a $10 pledge into a $13,125 pledge. I'm afraid to say I will probably have to drop a few pledges because of this, so the end result is less support to creators from me. Sad times. EDIT: Seems I misunderstood the fee. I guess it's 2.9% plus a flat fee? Ehh... Still not too keen on it.
