And now, Patreon joins my shitlist of corporations after this particular news broke out and honestly, I'm not happy. It's bullshit, that's what I'm saying.
Long story short, Patreon is now charging pledgers 2.9% of the pledge + a 0.35 cents surcharge. A shittier version of the GST if you will. Now what's my problem with that charge, you might ask. You see, my problem is that one, the charge is on the pledger. They are asking us to pay their bills for them. You know, just like GST.
My second issue is that, Patreon thinks that everyone who is pledging is American. At least, that's my take on it based on how they go about saying how everyone will be pleased with this. But I'm fairly certain that no, not everyone who donates is American and we might have unfavorable exchange rates with the American dollar. It will kill us to keep donating to creators that we love.
So,yeah. Fuck Patreon for this shit.
