I'll admit I'm not too knowledgeable about this. What does that mean for you (and us)?

They had just initiated having patrons pay a 2.9% + $0.35 fee as part of their pledge to cover processing fees, a fee usually deducted from the creator's account. It was supposed to go into effect on the 18th. People were obviously really upset, especially those pledging $1 or $2. So now they're not going to do that service fee change anymore. so for you, nothing n__n

It's pretty clear that they don't even understand that the entire value of Patreon is in the aggregation of pledges to creators to save on credit card fees.
