Okay so...something I'm considering...
🕑 Added 2019-05-22 20:16:59 +0000 UTCOn average, I only bring in around 60% of the pledge amount for any given month for the content I post. If my current pledge level is like $125, I'll only bring in about $70-$80 each month. This is a concern of mine. It shows that there are many people here who are abusing the system and think they can get things for free....
That being said I'm thinking of utilizing a method a few of my peers on Patreon have been doing where rather than posting full pieces here on Patreon, at the beginning of each month after pay day they take an hour or two and review who actually paid for said content and send those people an exclusive download link for the full content. This means that only paying customers get what they paid for and all the rest get nothing.
Honestly I don't want to do this. But rampant piracy and websites that offer exclusive Patreon content for free has been swaying my judgment.
I have new content to post this month, around 4-5 pieces. I guess I'll just wait and see how much I get back from said efforts and make an informed decision accordingly.

I've seen people doing that, but mostly because Patreon tried to suspend 'em for some reason. Another thing you could do is post on Gumroad, but message your patrons a 100% discount code.

I'm really rather surprised that Patreon doesn't gate until the payment is processed. I'm sorry you're dealing w/ this man.

It sucks that you can't just use the system as it's intended, but you don't deserve to be stolen from. I'm with you either choice you make.
Well those who actually pay won't mind in any way so go for it. The other don't matter.
