A big change - Re brand - Launch of The Datastream
🕑 Added 2021-06-01 12:06:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone, so I have a big announcement today. I'm re-branding the tier names on my patreon in conjunction to launching my new Patreon alternative site The Datastream.
I eventually would love to move away from patreon altogether, as a company they have demonstrated that creators don't matter as much, and I'm tired of them pulling all sorts of stuff on us out of the blue. It will be a slow move, I'll be posting like normal on patreon and The Datastream until I reach a point where it is sensible for me to delete my patreon page for good. (If that ever happens, this is a big experiment that I hope will go well enough for me to leave patreon in my dust.)
Now, The Datastream is built on Squarespaces membership area platform, it's new and as such has a few things that I hope they will implement in the future, there will be some growing pains but I would ask you to sit tight and help me make it better. I can only offer limited tiers for the moment (no monthly wisdom commission, and only 10 print slots) because they do not yet offer spot limits on tiers. I hope they will soon. In the meantime I will try my best to figure out a way to offer them.
Tiers are cheaper on The Datastream than on Patreon, you will still receive emails when I post things and still receive monthly packs in the same way you do here and you will also still have access to the discord server.
It accepts Credit card only (for the moment), and is billed every month on the date you joined. Please let me know if you have any questions. Art packs will still go out on the 1st/2nd of every month, so please try and stick around long enough to grab your reward, as once you cancel you lose access immediately.
I would encourage you to change from Patreon to The Datastream (at your leisure of course, there is no rush) , if it does well I'd be glad to leave patreon altogether and continue offering this service on my own website, with more control.
The Re-brand -
To minimise confusion for those who have stuck with patreon for the time being, I've re-named tiers to match the ones on The Datastream. There is literally no change in what you are getting as part of being a member, just a shiny new name.
As always if you have any questions please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them all. It's all new, and a very scary move for me. I've been sitting on it for months and months. But I just have to pull the bandaid off at this point and do it.
To old and new patrons, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me. I am constantly humbled and ...flabberghasted by the amazing encouragement you all give me to keep going. I hope you are excited to see my future works.
Love, Izzy xx
