PSA: Patreon card declines (again)
Added 2018-09-02 05:02:35 +0000 UTCWell, here's an annoying message to have to run around and spread again: Patreon screwed something up, and is getting payments declined all over the place.
The exact reason isn't clear yet - there are some reports that it's American Express cards specifically that are suffering declines and can't be used anymore but I can't confirm it. I have tried to message everyone who seems to be affected, but I encourage you all to check the Patreon campaigns you're supporting to make sure your pledges are actually going through.
As a reminder, nobody should feel pressured to pledge to my Patreon, and if an unintended decline feels like a good place to stop for you, please go ahead and do so - just remember to actually delete your pledges so my statistics from Patreon don't keep trying to include a pledge that's not coming back.
Thanks so much for your support <3
PS: once the next big video comes out (it's massive, oh god), I'll be putting some work into updating the Patreon and making it better for you all, and working out some more content I can post here for you.
