Addressing the $1 tier
🕑 Added 2025-03-21 16:56:03 +0000 UTCApparently this is an issue that has been ongoing for some time, but apparently those donating solely at the $1 tier are having their patronage almost entirely taken-up by Patreon and its fees itself, to the point the patronage is 'literally pennies'.
I've wanted to update the default tier here to be $2 to circumvent Patreon basically eating everything, but with how many people are on the tier it is outright disallowing me.
If you get this one and take the time to read -- please consider upping your patronage by one more dollar! I'll try to get onto this tier here soonish -- If not by the time people read this post.
Thank you!
EDIT: Apparently, Patreon now recommends a 3-dollar minimum. What are they doing to take so many fees out of this?
I'll try to make a two-dollar tier anyway, but this change kinda blows.

I'm sorry dude that sucks, I think a 2-3$ tier is reasonable

Don't worry, I understand that you're also thinking of increasing the subscription to 5 and asking you for a commission soon. I'll support you as long as I can. I love your art.

That's why I subbed at the $3 to begin with, I know Patreon is taking an insane amount of fees from creators. Hope the change goes well though!

just go to 3dollar if its the best for you. after you make the tir just send messages to saying that your doing it and your going to delete it. that will give most every one time to switch.

Didn't know that Patreon is that greedy. But I can't imagine that anybody will stop supporting you if you raise the price a little. I'll uprade my tier now ASAP ^^

what plan are you on as I have mostly £1 patrons and I dont lose all that much to fees but I have founder plan, also i guess with exchange rates now, pound is a lot more than dollar

Girl don't worry about it. Charge what you need to. Your work is worth every penny.
