Frustrations & Solutions
🕑 Added 2017-12-08 19:28:00 +0000 UTC First, let me say that if you need to delete your pledge to me, I completely understand! I still love you and totally get it, no hard feelings.Second, I'm working on adding a new membership system to my website. I had one on there previously but it was so awkward & clunky that it took me way too much time to work. I was searching for a solution to it when I came across the Patreon integration (I knew it was there previously but it didn't have full functionality for what I wanted it to do). I thought that would be a better solution. That was until literally days later Patreon upped their fees. And I understand the company wants to make a profit and that as someone who has a monthly account, I'm affected less but still... it made me feel like once again all my eggs were in once basket. So back to searching for a membership system for my website. I found one but naturally it's going to be a lot of work to get up and running correctly.
Nothing like spending the holidays scrambling to fix something I didn't break. :( I was suppose to be spending this time making emoji for Discord and Twitch, and getting a bunch of little projects done for the new year, and stickers...the stickers are now pushed back...again.
I'm a bit frustrated this morning/afternoon. Anyhow, please know that I'm working on a solution for those that want to leave Patreon and/or offer support in a different manner.

Thank you very much! <3 I'm still going to add something to my website in case this goes very sour and because something about eggs and baskets. :D
Deven I am sticking with you regardless of the platform you use for funding. It isn’t your fault or should you be punished for the incompetency and backhanded way in which Patreon is attempting to extort more money from contributors. What it does mean however I will have to investigate much more closely future creators.
Also are you all going to cancel your Netflix sub since its going up?
