Art Theft - Don't Do It.
Added 2018-06-02 19:52:16 +0000 UTCTo the people who are deleting their pledges before they pay only to renew them *after* Patreon collects payments, think about how you are committing art theft.
You are exploiting a loophole in order to view content for free. This is exactly why I only message people who win commissions after payments have been collected.
If you simply cannot afford a monthly sub, just don't sub. Wait a few months for when you can spare $5, then sub. All the older manips will still be here. If you're just being cheap and just want to get out of paying for what you get, then all you're doing is hurting me, the artist.
These people are screwing with my numbers, making me expect more monthly income than I'll actually get. Seeing a sudden -$25ish at the end of every month was disheartening at first, until I realized it is the same people every month. Patreon keeps records of when you make a pledge or delete a pledge, and I have full access to that as the content creator, so I know who's doing it.
Ask yourself; is committing theft something you're proud of? is denying a disabled artist money that he has worked hard for something that you're proud of?
If this continues to be a problem, I can and will block the offenders. Anyone who is blocked will also be denied all future commissions from outside of Patreon as well, as I simply cannot trust you to pay up.
