You're getting a bigger percentage of the amount pledged but a much smaller one of the amount paid than even before. Even worse for people in places such as the EU where there's also VAT to be paid (I pay roughly 1.20$ for a 1$ pledge at the moment). Will go up to nearly 1.60$
Naw they gotta frame it like this is really 
for the creators
Like yeah me getting a ~4% bigger "cut" of a pledged amount (not including the new swipe fees) is gonna make up for the 120+ patrons I've already lost, which is to say nothing of smaller creators.https://twitter.com/EarlofNarwhals/status/940630717142364160 …

And yes, to your original point, as
@JimSterling put it, "A bigger cut of fuck-all is still fuck-all"

Are there any viable alternatives? I'd support people elsewhere if I could but I don't want to just yank support if people have nowhere to go yet.

I'm lucky to have only lost 2-3 out of ~50 so far, grateful to my patrons for sticking around despite what's going on. Am horrified by what I see others losing at all levels, though. It's way too big a phenomenon for
@Patreon to not address in SOME way.
