Fraudulent Patreon Rant
8 years ago
I need to do a little rant like here, because this has become a bit of a trend on my Patreon page.
The last couple months, I've had people who joined up at the 50 dollar tier, where every two months, you can request a specialized mini-pack of 5 or so pictures of anything you want in it. This has happened so many times, and it raises my hopes up that I think I'm actually starting to get more support for my artwork and more support to make my world a little easier. And this keeps happening.
And frankly, it's pissing me off.
Now, I get it. 50 dollars is a lot to ask for on a pledge, but if you just wanted to view my pictures, you only needed to pledge a single dollar to see what I have on my page. Not really that big of an amount. And frankly, for what you're getting in return, essentially 5 fully colored commissions - Something that would cost roughly 70 dollars, I think it's a pretty good deal!
Look, I don't want to sound entitled, but frankly, I'm tired of getting screwed and tired of getting my hopes up because of this.
Rant over.

And this is why I don't use patreon.
I'm unaware of how patreon works, but the seller usually requests money first before the customer can get their product.
