Note: These changes should only apply to new patrons! Current patrons should not be affected!
With the new year, I wanted to change the way new patrons get billed. It has never sat right with me that someone who has signed up at the end of the month might essentially be double-charged when the first of the new month comes around.
Recently, Patreon has allowed for a more familiar subscription model, in which you are simply charged monthly from the day you sign up.
I wanted to take some time to think about this new option, because it will be a permanent change to my page, and I think that now is the best time to implement it and update the tier descriptions accordingly. Again, this should not affect any current patrons.
Additionally, I am planning to add a $5 tier to my page. Someone very kindly asked if I could add a yearly-subscription option, but Patreon only offers that option to creators who reach a certain amount of monthly earnings. While I am unlikely to reach that threshold, I think adding a $5 tier is a good alternative for anyone who might be feeling extra generous. Like my other tiers, patrons will be able to make it a one-time payment by cancelling whenever they want.
I plan to make these changes on January 1st, 2023. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback! I always aim to run this page with transparency.
