Thoughts on Patreon's New Fees
🕑 Added 2017-12-07 21:35:23 +0000 UTC Just some further discussion on the change, and thoughts about where to go from here.One possibility I did not mention in the video is basically treading water for now, and seeing how Kickstarter's new Drip service pans out. It's currently invite-only, but is supposed to be a direct competitor to Patreon. If they opt NOT to screw over the supporters, perhaps we'll move over there.

BTW, thank you for sharing the info and your thoughts, Tim. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm torn... If you (and the other creators I support) were to offer an alternative, I would jump immediately. But, I want to keep supporting... So, I am going to stick with it for now, but I am not happy with this, and honestly it is more the sleazy way this has come down than the change itself. Giving 11 days notice on something they admit they worked on for over a year is just not something I feel is above board... So, I am ready to move elsewhere, but I know there is really no other alternative at the moment, making it feel even more sleazy from Patreon.
