Are his current patreons notified of the increase in monthly pledges and are they given the opportunity to opt out prior to being charged for the next instalment
Unless I am reading this wrong the tiers are mostly the same, $1, $5, $10, $25 a month, with the new $50 a month one added. He just changed the names. I would imagine if you were pledging $1 before, it would just transfer into the new $1 tier.
If Patreon defaults you into a new tier that costs more, that’s an unsavory business practice to say the least.
I think the big news here is he’s creating a top $50 tier and trying to entice current Patrons to subscribe to that. He’s largely thrown in the towel on getting any significant Patrons back and is trying to maneuver his current supporters into paying more.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that another filing in his lawsuit will occur soon. They tend to immediately follow news like this. This is also the time of year he goes on holiday and with this last Patron drop he’s panicking about his business model.
Enjoy the winter in Zagreb, Lloyd. Keep up on inviting Instagram models out for coffee. An overweight 43 year old man with a Muppet nose who’s also still married with two kids to support on a shrinking salary has to stand a chance, right?
