Patreon forcing a change to subscription billing
🕑 Added 2024-08-12 22:59:13 +0000 UTCSo as a creator, I received an email from Patreon with them stating that they will be switching to subscription billing soon. This is a mandatory change to comply with iOS/Apple policies.
My Patreon at the moment uses first-of-the-month billing, but when I switch to over to subscription billing, you'll simply be charged every month on the same day you originally pledged your support.
How I choose to distribute my content won't be changing. If you are registered as a patron of mine at any point of a given month, you'll receive the rewards for that particular month and that month alone (and they would be sent to you eventually even if they are delayed past that month). So for instance, if you decide to pledge your support on August 30th, you will only receive any content that I have designated for August.
Patreon will be automatically shifting my account over to subscription billing this November, so that will be when these changes will go into effect. Just letting everybody know now so you aren't surprised by the changes.
EDIT: One more warning, try not to pledge through iOS if possible! This is because the App Store charges a whopping 30% fee for any subscriptions purchased through the iOS Patreon app. This fee would be pushed onto you, so save yourself the money and if you choose to support me, do it through a normal desktop web browser or an alternative app store.
