    they’re removing creators’ ability to charge per creation and forcing them to charge only via monthly subscription.

      It’s an absolutely dick move by Patreon.

      I guess Patreon figure it will make them as a platform more money, because people tend to forget about subscriptions and just let them keep going.

      But it’s awful for creators who release less frequently, because people will start to feel cheated when months go by and they don’t get anything. And I’m sure the creators won’t enjoy that pressure either.

      It’s like Patreon are cracking the whip, telling creators “Work faster, you have to justify your monthly subscription now!”

      Assholes.
