if you can afford to keep your pledges with the added fees, please do. maybe talk to people to see if there are similar ways to support them outside patreon; I had a good conversation with one of the creators I support, & they're thinking of alternatives, but that's not an option for every creator.

if you can't afford to keep your pledges and you have to lower or cancel them, please let patreon know the impact of their change. it's their fault, not yours.
