Patreon Changes for 2021
🕑 Added 2021-01-21 23:01:21 +0000 UTCPatreon has made an announcement of planned changes for 2021, there's one that will directly affect you:
"Right now, patrons of charge up front creators are billed immediately when they first sign up, and thereafter on the 1st of each month. This year we’re moving towards anniversary billing, where patrons’ renewal date each month will be the same date they joined."
Because of how sending rewards works on this Patreon, I will still send new reward links on the 1st as usual. This means that when you pledge, you're basically still paying for access until the end of the current month as normal. But this also means that you won't be "double charged" if you pledge near the end of the month. For example, you pledge two days before the end of the month. With the current system, you'd be charged again on the first of the next month, but with this new system, you won't be charged again and you'll still receive the new link for the month! You'll only not get that new link if you unpledge before the 1st of the new month.
This will be how rewards will work if Patreon doesn't make any changes to this new system, as they say they're taking a lot of feedback and may make changes.
