Informative post for free tier folk
Hi everyone!
I covered this a few months ago when Patreon changed everything all around for whimsy, as they are wont to do, but I wanted to make sure the new new folk are aware:
If you clicked the free tier button thinking that was sort of…the whole of it…as Patreon led you to believe so, you know, totally understandable…you’re missing most of the content. There will be an occasional free post, but most of the goodies are under the tiers. The $5 one gets you the main content package every month, with extras getting spicier from there. Access to the Discord server is unlocked with literally any amount.
Patreon is how I feed my kid and cats (photos of whom feature largely here!) and myself so I am sorry to hide literature under tiers, but this is a hard world and everything costs too much. I know we all know. These kinds of posts are just screamingly awkward to write.
So…yeah. Just saying and all…if you want to see the things I make here, Patreon tricked you and those tiers over there are how you actually do it.
All my love, this months rewards going up this weekend, I hope your summers are summering excellently.

The free/following tier is kinda broken as it is, 'cause most artists forget to make a public post every once in a while. Patreon should send a monthly reminder or summary or something when the people we follow have posted something, even if it's locked, just to show that they're still active. (Yes, there's social media, but a lot of artists have abandoned them after the fall of Twitter, or don't advertise their Patreon there because The Algorhithm makes those posts falls into obscurity. It's all broken. Sigh.)
I should have money next month to get on the $5 tier for a bit. It’s too bad I can’t pay in a lump sum and then just let the money/months roll out. No, I have to remember to cancel a monthly payment, bc Patreon hates ADHDers. 😖
If you can swing it, there is a yearly sub option that gives you a bit of a discount
Oh thank you! I’ve been on the $1 tier and forgot I needed to bump myself up to the $5 level, so thank you!
