2017-12-13 23:54:52 +0000 UTCThey had just initiated having patrons pay a 2.9% + $0.35 fee as part of their pledge to cover processing fees, a fee usually deducted from the creator's account. It was supposed to go into effect on the 18th. People were obviously really upset, especially those pledging $1 or $2. So now they're not going to do that service fee change anymore. so for you, nothing n__n

2017-12-13 23:40:41 +0000 UTCI'll admit I'm not too knowledgeable about this. What does that mean for you (and us)?

2017-12-13 23:39:20 +0000 UTCIt's pretty clear that they don't even understand that the entire value of Patreon is in the aggregation of pledges to creators to save on credit card fees.
2017-12-13 23:39:07 +0000 UTCYeah, multiple $1 patrons ended their pledges for me and others
