Patreon has implemented Subscription Billing. The way things are currently, if you subscribe to my Patreon, you are charged immediately. You are then renewed at the first of every month. This means if you toss me $5 on Patreon today, you'll be charged another $5 on Saturday.
Subscription Billing means you would be charged every month on the date that you started. So you wouldn't be charged that $5 again until the 27th of October.
I've talked to people on Discord and have encountered a few different opinions. Some people like the change. They like the idea of spreading out their Patreon donations so they're not hit on the first of every month for all their subscriptions.
Others like the idea of knowing that they are always charged on the first of the month.
This change does not affect current Patrons. It would only affect new Patrons once - and if - implemented. Also, if I make the change to Subscription Billing, it is permanent. There's no going back. So I want to do my due diligence and get some opinions on this.
