The hardware store had 100 fender washers, or 1kg, for 1€, so I’ll be using them for a while.

A AAA-battery to AA-adapter. I randomly had 50 of the smaller ones lying around, so it really came in handy.

Can’t share a link, but there should be dozens of this kind of model on any site. “Can’t”, because the model I grabbed was definitely among the worse ones.

Yeah, we’re all mad, fuck the suits and all that.

But why does the distinction between “real-world adult material” and “creative, non-realistic”, “artistic, animated works” that “do no harm” matter? Last time I checked, realistic adult material can be just as artistic, and the harm done by negligently letting children watch it seems comparable.

Are they in favour of age verification for “uncreative, realistic” pornography, or is the real distinction just between real-life and online?

Fairly certain what you describe is what they meant with inflation proof, compared to a fixed price.

In any case, I imagine most Patreon creators have over time adjusted their reward tiers, or gathered more Patreon supporters to keep up with how Inflation affects their costs, thus giving more to Patreon. Both the company and creators would benefit here.

Instead, increasing the (average) percentage just helps the company at the cost of creators. To make their pay keep up with inflation, they still need to either increase the number of supporters or the price of rewards, so the company benefits doubly. Edit: forgot, this change is currently only for new creators. Existing accounts do not need to adjust their pricing (yet)

There seem to be enough alternatives that only charge a 5% fee, so this might just lose Patreon money if enough Creators see this as a step too far.

In here absolutely everyone knows this stuff and it’s all just common knowledge.
