The issue with this site (Patreon)

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who commented on the last post and voiced their concerns regarding dA. I will take the issues you mentioned into account before making a final decision.

Now, here's the two biggest reasons that make me want to leave this site:

1) The subscription model is broken when it comes to long term exclusive content. This site is great for content creators who offer time-based benefits such as early access to pictures. However, it all breaks apart when you try to use it as exclusive content platform for a longer time. While true supporters like you all pay for this exclusive content month for month, there will always be people who just drop by once every year to get a year's worth of pictures for the price of one month. That's incredibly unfair to true supporters, obviously. dA, however, comes with features that help prevent this unfair treatment.

2) The fee and currency conversion policy is hard to understand and puts an unnecessary burden on both Patrons and Creators. When I made my first and only level, I set the price to 3 EUR (cause I am located in Europe).
Patreon converted the 3 EUR to 4 USD for US Patrons (although 3 EUR are only about 3,60 USD). Then Patreon slaps the VAT and Patron-Fees on top of that. At my end, Patreon of course also takes some fees, leaving me with approximately 2,55 EUR (3,02 USD).
I don't mind having to pay fees if the platform I am using offers reliable transaction handling and the fee for Creators here is pretty low. However, I am disgusted about how Patrons are milked for their money, especially if they use a different currency. Compare that to dA, where I can set the actual price I want people to pay and simultaneously calculate my exact earnings because dA simply takes 20%. That's pretty high but on the other hand I never had a single rejected payment on dA while Patreon has rejected two people's payments after only one month.
