Last Earnings of the Year (Patreon)

Sorry this took so long for us to get out, something kept coming up and distracting me from getting out this transparency statement for the last few months. That's unpardonable on my part.

You'll notice a -massive- dip in the Pledge Growth in September, that's the month where we deleted a years worth of 'declined but never deleted their pledges or rebumped them' folks. They weren't getting content, but they were heavily influencing the Pledge Growth metrics, so now you should have a significantly more accurate showing of what was and wasn't earned as on the day before the last day of the month we purge any remaining declined accounts from our listing. You can actually see that by checking our earnings against the "Amount Pledged At End of Month" metric in the last graph and see how they don't match in August but start to much more closely match in September on (the difference is accounted for by folks jumping in, paying, then jumping back out before the end of the month).
