★THE FEES WILL NOT BE HAPPENING!★
Patreon has heard our complaints and requests to keep things the way they are, and has decided NOT to continue with the fees! :D
For those of us that lost some faith in Patreon this past week, hopefully this is a step in regaining that trust back from us Creators and Patrons again, and may we all experience some growth with this upcoming new year!

"and are currently assessing other options" sounds a lot like we're going to find other ways to shake more money out of you. Nevertheless... Rejoice, for the wicked witch is dead! And what better way to celebrate than to raise my pledge to a certain feline martial arts practitioner. =)
Yeah, but I'd rather that they take money from the Creators than the Patrons themselves. I understand that Patreon is, at its core, a company, and I've never had any illusions about that, but I was very upset that they were taking money from the people who were being kind enough to pledge in the first place! I don't mind if they want me to pay a larger fee (I am using their platform, after all), if it means that it leaves the Patrons alone, and thankfully, on the Patreon forums, I saw that I was not the only Creator who felt that way :) Thank you for your kindness, hun, it means a lot and I hope you will like all of the naughty Goodies this month! ;D
Tbh i wont be able to trust patreon (especially when i read carefully the message they send). But im glad they step back. :) now i can come back support creators. ^^ *hug NK*
Agreed, my trust for them has plummeted as well, and while I'm glad that they've shown that they're open to listening, I'm always going to have to have one foot out the door just in case! :\
Oh the relief!!!!!
