💉Surgery Update on Storm

Some people just don't have enough money to pay every month they pay, Watch what they want and cancel and then next month maybe later in the month check if there's anything they want to watch and re subscribe

Ey yo Storm, ey! Don't worry 'bout it, you know, you's a fighter too so you know, you just gotta work hard as usual for it cus it can't rain forever you know... even tho you're a storm yourself you know, but u know what I mean... (Do your best Rocky in your mind, and bring back that huge smile soon girl!)

The second you subscribe, you have to pay, so it doesn't really make sense to leave. Maybe some people just take a break until they see content they like.

This isn't directly related to the original topic, but this reminds me: I hate how Patreon works overall where they automatically charge you no matter what time of the month you sign up. And then they charge you AGAIN at the first of the month. So if you sign up on the 25th, you get charged, but then you get charged again 6 days later. They should make it so they just charge you monthly on the same day that you originally signed up to a creator.

Every so often my Patreon gets funky and claims I need to pay when I already did at the start of the month. Usually a refresh fixes it. But from that it is possible some are a bug, either accidentally saying they aren't supporting or do lose it.

My card was declined on the first because my card expired this month. Maybe other people's card did too? Definitely not all those people but maybe a few.

It would be weird if their profile said "not supporting any creators" when it was really just set to private, but I guess I have no way of checking that. Even so, that doesn't really explain the big dip in subscriber numbers. It happens every month. I guess I'm just more active on this page so I notice, and can't say if it happens to other creators I'm subscribed to (though I suspect it does). I remember a very old post where Storm explained that she was changing her Patreon to charge up front because too many people were subscribing in the middle of the month and then cancelling before payment went through, so I'm not even sure how trying to dodge the charges would work now. Just seems very weird and fishy to me.

I think you're correct that people tend to cancel their patron membership before they're charged again. I'd guess this is a pattern for every creator, and not just Storm Akima. As far as why membership picks up again as the month goes on, maybe it's people coming back when they definitely know there's enough new stuff to make it worth it. Or maybe it's all new subscribers to make up for the ones that left. I think confusing the issue is the whole thing where you click on a profile and it says the person isn't supporting anyone. That could just mean they have privacy settings turned on to where it ALWAYS says this, even if they're supporting a lot of people.

I have a somewhat random question -- why does the number of patrons dip so significantly at the beginning of every month? I've noticed this for a while now. The beginning of the month rolls around and the number drops by as much as 300. Like, even amongst the well-wishers in this thread right here, if you click on the profiles, like a dozen are marked as "this patron is not supporting any creators at the moment." But you have to be pledging at least a dollar monthly to see or comment on this post. Are people seriously dodging the charges on the 1st of every month?

Fantastic!!! Glad to hear she's doing well, can't wait to see her on her feet again, well, on the couch anyway 🤣

Sarah

That is wonderful news!! I'm so glad she's recovering well :)) Tell her to rest and take it easy, we will all still be here ❤️

Anne

That's a relief to hear. Thanks for the update.

This is wonderful news to hear. Best regards to Dawn. Maybe when she starts to get back into reactions after recovering well, she ought to try DUMB and DUMBER, maybe a Jim Carrey comedy would help "lighten the mood" for her, in addition to her family and the viewers in general. ;) But still, this is now a time of recovery, then later, a storm is coming.
