I've been working with this new Patreon structure for a while, but whilst the majority of you either don't mind or are positive about it, I've received some criticism over the past few months from disappointed patrons who feel like they did not get their money's worth. So I figured I'd ask you guys.
Do you prefer the current monthly subscription system, or should I go back to having the post archive available for all tiers?
Currently:
€15 Patrons get content every month that expires the next.
€45 Patrons also get a free request, extra posts, and can see the backlog.
I did this because I now have 200+ posts on my Patreon, for which some Patrons have paid almost €300, whereas someone who joins today would pay only €45 for the same posts. It just didn't feel fair, especially since some patrons just come to download all of your old posts (and sometimes even spread them online) without any intent to stick around.
I guess now I have a new incentive that would make staying more rewarding with the rewards based on pledges system. Some of you have happily made use of this already - those who haven't yet, check your inboxes.
If I were to make the archive available again for €15, I'd add more rewards for €45 Patrons / Librarians, so the tier would still exceed €45 in value. If the vote is in favour of releasing the archive, I'll host another poll to see what these extra rewards will be.
TL:DR; would you prefer if I made the archive available again for €15, or would you rather keep things the way they are?
