Good News!
Added 2017-12-13 19:01:05 +0000 UTCPatreon announced that misguided new fee structure won't be happening now!
It still stings knowing that they were planning on it at all, but at least we know the voices of creators and patrons alike can be heard on this platform.
Thankfully I won't be needing to do anything complicated with the tiers to counteract Patreon anymore. $1 will still be $1, and payments will remain aggregated for the foreseeable future here, making things simpler for patrons, and that's really what I cared about. This site should be something that makes supporting as many creators as you want easy, not some kind of exercise in complicated budgeting and timing of payments.
I won't be thanking Patreon for basically pulling the rug out from under you guys and then carefully slipping it back, but it is a start, and I'm glad someone there is listening.
