Okay, I specifically left this post to be the last one on my weekeds - so that when you come in here this will be the first post for the next few days.
Price updates. These changes will not affect existing members until April so that anyone who has a subscription renewal in the next month won't be affected - in case if they want to unsubscribe.
It's been 1.5 years for me on this platform, and I've never did any changes to this since 2024 September. Since the very start. Like, I'm a human too, I know how this feels.
But the whole workflow changed. 25 posts back then weren't a norm, it was a big post for Friday; I didn't go through every pic to fix them; there weren't that many code gold members back then. I spend my whole free time here.
1) The biggest changes will be for Code Gold membership price.
8$ -> 20$
The reason behind this is that at this moment... Let's be real, 8$ is cheap. Requests are, like, half of my post within a month, and yet if I remove this tier it completely I won't even feel that much of a difference. The demand is also a bit too high, because for me the ideal situation is when I have around 1-2 spots always available, but because of the price there's always 11/11, sometimes even 12/11 members in Gold tier.
Also... I will not lie if I say I was asked to increase this price several times by several people. Somehow.
2) Code Red
5$ -> 8$
Still cheaper what other creators I looked through charge for the main tier. The average is around 10. I mean, I could just, you know, go and do "This tier can unlock my full library" while "That tier can only view the posts from the last 2 months."Eh, "hell no" to that. I'm not locking out the sets based on how far they were posted, which implies this: When I just started this patreon page in the end of 2024, people who joined Code Red kind of risked. Compared to those times, now Code Red members unlock the whole gallery and I have zero plans on changing it.
But the gallery size now counts in thousands, if not at least 10k (Windows counts it as 23923 but it overcounts, but not by much). The amount of available stuff is wild, and I still try to make them all somewhat unique instead of just putting everything through the same prompts with just a different character.
3) Code Blue
2$ -> 5$
This tier's reasons mostly are the same as Code Red.
However, despite having quite a small number of people in it, I believe it still functions greatly as the introduction - well, because the reason why there's barely any people in it is because people actually go on and upgrade.
Despite this, I still am looking out for this tier. If there's too much requests within a week, my own post might not be divided into a normal and extended versions.

I've been postponing this for quite a while. If you wish to unsubsribe, who am I to stop you? This is your choice, lads. But even if you will do so - know this: I'm VERY THANKFUL for your support during this time.
Peace and love from yours truly.
