Done!

My price hike is even greater, as I started my subscription quite some time ago. I'm going to make the most of the six month crossover, then just listen through YouTube. The show over there currently has no baked-in ads, and having a YouTube Premium subscription means I can still listen uninterrupted, and only lose the bonus episodes. I still love the show, but there are only so many creators I can support at the same time, and essentially $5/episode feels disproportionate.

Andrew Davison

Still is for now, but it'll likely be killed off at the start of August. Six months is the switchover timeline Jack's given in the post above.

Hahaha that’s so much worse because they can’t detect this, I feel your pain

So the freefeed.xml won't be updated anymore?

I have the feeling like when you get one of those corporate fake phishing emails that are meant to test / "train" you not to click on things. The first time I got one of those, I traced the domain it linked to back to Mandiant, whom I knew was a vendor we were using for security products. BGP looking glass showed it pointing to a subnet advertised by our (my) own network. I loaded up a static sandbox VM to see what the link would do, and was rewarded with a mandatory 90-minute training video assignment. I don't want to play anymore.

Hi Jack, I’m worried about the no password thing on the new page? I wish you’d given us the option to migrate or not. You might not like this system but my data should have been mine to move?

I would be happy to follow. But since CC is the only payment method that is not acceptable for me. Also the unexplained price change is really weired. If this was a hack and someone compromised Jacks pateron, got everybody to move over to a new site and enter their CC info... it would make for a great DD episode :-D

Two problems with the new system: 1. The new pod includes public ones, many of which I've listened to but I don't remember which ones... that's unfortunate. I wish the pod only included the "pro" ones. 2. Public pods on the Pro feed can't be shared. :(

This!

I checked out supportingcast.fm and it looks much better overall than patreon! great move, hopefully the transfer is smooth for everyone 🙂

@Disarrayer & @EvanLord, hm, could be browser issue? I used Firefox and it was all smooth for me, say the different plans and all smooth. Hopefully it’s not too many users that are having these difficulties! (I am all too familiar with them where it’s just some particular sites that this kind of thing happens to me all the time.)

Andy Norris

Done. I very rarely think to log into patreon... glad I did tonight.

Nathan Boone

Could you share some details regarding to the price hike from 3$ to 5$ while changing platforms?

Matti Hansson

Haha, previously we were protected by the payment going to Patreon, but since the recipient now came up as DARKNETDIARIES my card got flagged. No worries, though.

Evan Lord

Yes I also had this issue and wanted to review to see if I could maybe do the more expensive one. I got an email saying to go to my account page to change my subscriptions and setting at any time and I’ll I can do is remove or change my payment. While I’m happy to support Jack and the show (which I have and already did in the new app) the whole experience just got downgraded IMO. It’s only browser based? Lame. While I don’t want to be a complainer group the user experience should also be taken into account no?

Disarrayer

Anyone else having issues with the new site? I saw the different plans once shortly on the setup site but they disappeared and I can't reach any payment sites or anything. I see only the different links to the podcast apps but no subscription plans. Two different devices, different networks, ... Still, no dice.

David Olsson

There is also a change in prices, I think it's a little strange that it's not mentioned here. From 3$ to 5$ for the ad-free membership on the new platform.
