Hello dear members of my Patreon, today I bring you some unfortunate news for many of you.
I have decided to increase the prices of my Patreon subscriptions, but it is not because of a simple whim of mine, but because of reasons of force majeure.
------context------
In these months, or rather, 2 years, I have been dealing with somewhat serious mental health problems (I am in treatment, do not worry), and that has led me to have slightly higher expenses.
I have a part-time job that does not generate much (I work with the Nicaraguan minimum wage), and I also have my Touhou Arts pages, I could have a more normal job, but, due to treatment issues, I cannot overexert myself too much, because it could worsen my medical progress.
I have tried to look for other alternatives such as freelance work or similar, but, apparently it is more complicated than it seems, which I thought would be easier, due to knowing multimedia production (thanks to that I know how to manage my social networks and the animations I have made), but even so I have not been able to get a more stable job.
Patreon has helped me a lot with its payments in dollars (the Nicaraguan currency is more devalued than shit in all of Central America, it is almost the same as what happens with Venezuela, like the meme that "with one dollar you buy all of Venezuela"), and with that I have been able to solve a minimal extra expense that I have been able to have.
------end of context------
So, for that reason, I have decided to increase the price of Patreon subscriptions.
But don't worry, your subscriptions will not be maintained with the same benefits, new ones will be added that are necessary to be able to comply with what they will be worth with these new prices.
I already have some new ideas, such as adding more monthly commissions to the most premium subscription (from 3 to 4) (each commission is worth 15 USD, they would have a greater savings by paying the monthly Patreon fee).
Also, the idea of creating an official Discord server for the most Premium Members, although I'm not sure about it, especially because Discord is kind of dangerous due to all the controversies that come out of it.
I will be confirming in a few hours, or days what's new on my Patreon.
See you soon.
