New Patreon Payment System - Charge Up Front
🕑 Added 2018-08-01 19:33:50 +0000 UTC Hi everyone! Today I enabled the brand new Patreon option of charging new patrons up front. This is something I've been hoping to get for a long time now - what it means is that when a new patron signs up, they'll have to pay their pledge amount right away before being able to access any rewards.The reason I wanted this is simple: Far too often, I would notice patrons signing up, getting the rewards that were available, and then not paying when Patron went to collect their pledge.
THE WAY THIS WORKS is when a patron signs up, they'll pay their pledge amount, and then on the 1st of the next month they'll be charged that same amount. So, in case you're already wondering, yes - if someone signs up on, say, the 30th of April, they'll have to pay their pledge amount on that day and ALSO on the 1st of May. I would recommend anyone in that position simply wait until the 1st of the new month to sign up so they don't have to pay for that almost-completed month.
I hope I explained this well - both how it works and why I've implemented it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you all patrons for continuing to support me and the channel. You're the reason I'm able to do what I do.
EDIT: Just to be clear - this DOESN'T affect anyone who's already a patron! Things will continue as normal for y'all :)

Yep. Just like Kickstarter, you have a lot of pledges who ghost when it becomes time to pay. It's worse here since they get the content AND stick ya.

I'm so glad Patreon has made this an option and you should definitely be compensated for all the additional work you put into Dead Meat and the rewards. Glad to know you've implemented this James!

As a fan who was concerned of that happening (someone scamming the benefits from you) its good to see you did this. Very smart move. You da man james. Love yer face
Kate Voigt
Gotcha! I just got anxious.
Dead Meat
Correct - I'll edit my post to make that point clear
Kate Voigt
Okay! Seems legit. So this doesn't mess with already patrons right?

I was wondering when they’d fix that

Understandable, even I was getting frustrated by the amount of people ducking out before they had to pay

Good move. Keep up the great work!

Well it’s a good thing that I love your content enough to pay every month.

Sounds reasonable, my man. Keep up the good work!
