Hello good fellows, ye who art subscribed to mine and others' Patreon and ye few who art not subscribed but follow me here nonetheless.
You might have noticed the little UI changes that have happened here and there. Now the whole bloody thing looks like a mobile app even on PC. Unfortunately, we're in the modern age, an era wherein every social media wants to go Musk-side and enshittify itself for some Brassica Prima-damned reason (the UI is glitching out and constantly changing fonts for some reason while writing this, it didn't to it before this update, excuse me if this causes typos as my brain tries to comprehend the flashing text). I've heard that the chronological timeline has been removed for Patrons as well, being replaced with a normal social media-style feed, which I don't get, but I'm also not a multimillion dollar tech company making bad decisions so maybe I shouldn't think about these things too much.
Ahem, enough of me ranting about UI design, let's get to what I was trying to get to. There isn't really any alternative to Patreon, for me anyways. Ko-Fi is one, but it requires Paypal or Stripe; two things that I don't actually have access to in my region (because screw anyone living in a third world country, we don't deserve to earn anything).
I'll be staying on Patreon for now, but I plan on jumping ship whenever a less enshittified opponent pops out of the aether (or wherever online services come from). Thank you so much for your continued support, and I hope we'll be out of this hellsite in due time. May Brassicus Prime bless all of ye with a good cabbage harvest, and may Brassicus Prime damn all the tech CEOs on top making UIs shittier with every year.
