Changes to Patreon's System (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a second to explain the new system that Patreon is moving to, as I feel it's important to voice my concerns over it and my feelings on it. 

Starting soon Patreon will start charging Patrons more per pledge, they are adding a 2.9% + $0.35 Processing fee to every pledge. The burden of this fee and cost was previously placed on the Artist. Which I was happy to pay as part of the cost of business. However in an effort to get more of the money pledged to the creators you support, they had the brilliant idea to shift the cost on to you all, which I vehemently disagree with, as it not only makes it less worthwhile for you all to pledge at higher levels, it also makes it feel like you as a Patron are being punished for supporting me, which is the wrong way to go about this in my opinion.

With this changing payment structure I will be revising my reward tiers and my frequency of posting new content to help and earn your business with the increased cost to you.

I am aware that some of you may still leave, as many already have, if this change is too much for you to weather and or you have an aversion to using a service that changes it's structure suddenly with no input from the creators in which they made the change to benefit, I completely understand, I would just ask that you let me know that you are leaving and give me a chance to properly thank you for the support you've provided thus far. 

To those who are staying, you have my gratitude, and I promise I will do everything I can to make you whole.

Thanks you as always,

Kari
