Tier Changes! (IMPORTANT!)

Hey guys!

So I've been noticing a growth problem with my Patreon in the sense that it sort of just stagnates and I am not exactly able to sustain a decent growth.

My ideal version of Patreon was having a lot of $2 patrons so that it wouldn't be a burden on those who donated and I wouldn't have to struggle for rent when I moved out.

But most people do not pledge to the $2 tier (so I am just going to retire it ☹)

However this is where I run into a dilemma,

I have contemplated bringing the $2 tier back and let the NSFW be cheaper BUT the risk of doing that is that the people who just pledge and leave immediately will just be able to do it at an even cheaper price and so I'm scared of that.

AND so the other option is upping the NSFW to the $10 tier, and making the 5$ be the new SFW tier.

You all are probably upset and confused as to why I'd do that, and the reason is that I noticed that whenever I see a boom in growth after making a bunch of new content for here, it always drops by a lot. :( 

I've tried to combat this by trying to create oodles of stuff in monthly dumps (like the SUPAFREAK animation, Coco walking home animation, Pepe x Dory smut comic, fem dory stuff, the pepe smut etc.) and while this brings in a lot of traffic I find myself overworking only to keep maybe a quarter of that huge traffic.

At least if the cost is higher I won't have periods of burnout because I'm not overworking myself trying to reach my ideal patron count. 

And don't worry, for anyone already pledged it won't upcharge you! You'll be grandfathered in on the current $5 plan until you unsubscribe.

I'd also bring the price back down if I manage to reach my ideal patron count!

OR  making it $10 is inconvenient/bad and y'all would prefer it to stay the same, which is fine! I think that maybe if I work just hard enough I might can get more people to stay! 

It's just that most of my exit surveys say that they only came for one thing and since the got it they decided to leave (which valid lol, I ain't mad. It's just the stagnation is making this become an unreliable source of income if I want to live on my own).

So what do you guys think? Hopefully this isn't mean or makes me sound ungrateful, if so I'm seriously sorry.

Thank you all for what you currently give me now! :)
