Big end of year Patreon update with Cooler Stuff(TM)

Howdy!  Hope you all had happy holidays, mine were rather chaotic and will continue to be rather chaotic for a little while longer, hence this update is only coming 48 hours before the end of the month. Procrastination.

Firstly, this doesn't affect current Patrons but for resubscriptions or new subscribers I changed the billing model to charge on the day you sign up.  I've had several people reach out confused on how the billing works or exclusively wanted to offer a month of support so that should help out with those problems.

Secondly, slight changes to the tiers.  The $5.00 tier now has a coupon code available for orders at daveygun.place, and with how I priced everything over there that essentially means you can buy anything on there for it's "base price".  If you're not interested in anything on there currently I plan on updating the store pretty frequently so feel free to keep the code around.  I also added exclusive voting rights to the $7.50 tier because all people may be created equally, but Patrons are more equal than others, so they get exclusive voting rights.  ALSO, we're over half way to our first Patron goal, I don't know why they're so hidden (it took me several minutes to even find the damn goals) but we do have a bunch of goals based off of Patron count so that's going to be neat.

(And as always, I do have to thank every single one of you for your support.  I know it's cliche to say but it genuinely does mean a lot, so thank you for everything :D)

Thirdly, the Q&A benefit was removed because I wasn't able to naturally transition it into the end of videos like I thought I would be able to.  Although I did write all of your questions down and am going to upload a Q&A video on my second channel in a few days, so if you have any questions you want answered there feel free to send them over in DM's or reply to this post and I will include them in that video.

Lastly, and probably the only negative here, I'm going to be stricter with the Patreon tiers.  Usually I'm pretty lax with having certain benefits and content unlocked to most/all Patrons, but from here on out I'm going to exclusively abide by the tiers just to set a standard.  I don't want people to feel bad about having certain benefits locked, but I also don't want people to feel like they're not getting value out of certain tiers, so ultimately I'm going to have to prioritize the latter.

Thank you all for the support again, and I hope you have a Happy New Years, hoping 2023 will be the best year for the channel yet and I'm excited to share all of the projects I've been working on recently.  Cheers!
