Thank You
🕑 Added 2017-12-08 15:19:11 +0000 UTC I just want to thank you guys for sticking with me. After Patreon's announcement, I've lost $46/month in subs. I expect that number to go up after they actually roll out this new fee structure (Garbage).If they do roll out the fee structure, I will be changing my tiers so that you are paying as close to your original amount as possible - no fee headaches for you. I'll eat the cost. It looks like I'll be getting about 10% less than I am now. But I really don't think their fees are fair.
Because of this incident, I realize how reliant I am upon Patreon, and how they can easily screw me over with selfish policy changes. I am looking into alternatives to Patreon. I spoke with the guy (That I believe) runs Commiss.io, and he is looking into the possibility of creating a Patreon competitor. This company has a good reputation among artists. So I hope that works out.
Kickstarter is also working on their own version, called Drip. I have signed up for it. Unfortunately it is invite only right now, we have to wait for the invites.
If you want to dump Patreon and continue to support me:
Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/jakkal
PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/JakkalWolf
Google Wallet: jakkal@gmail.com
I'm also looking into Flattr, but their site is really confusing.
I might also try to make my own "Donator Site" Like I used to have during BT's reign. My only concern is making it simple to us and secure.
In the meantime, I will be continuing on as I've been doing, and I really hope you guys can weather the storm with me.

I've been actively looking into a way to set up my own paywall site with the same updates and stuff that I post here. I've found one that's $99/month and one that's $30/month. I need to give this a lot of research though, I can't stand messing with other people's money and I have ot make sure this is done right.

I'm going to stick around, but just to embargo Patreon I kind of just want to set up automatic payments through Paypal so Patreon sees no extra income...
