[Patreon] Major Change to Patreon Platform + 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year`s Patreon Campaign Banner Contest
posted on 15.12.2024 23:06 by CDB-Man

Major change to Patreon Platform


Hi everyone,

As you may or may not be aware, Patreon announced the elimination of "per-creation billing" after November 2025. You can read the announcement here: https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

AniDB currently uses a "per-creation billing" model. This is how we are able to control when we make paid Patreon posts, and collect your pledges. This control allowed AniDB to minimize the collection of excess funds beyond what we need to operate the site.

Patreon is making this change because they have been forced to do so by Apple. Apple's app store no longer supports Patreon's per-creation billing model. In order for Patreon to comply and remain on the Apple App Store, they must migrate all creators to a Subscription model.

As a result of this change from Patreon, AniDB will be migrating to a subscription model in mid-2025. This month's banner contest and paid post will be the last one under the current "per-creation billing" model.

We are currently assessing the impact of this change to AniDB, and what this means for everyone that supports us. Most likely, the following will happen:
  1. We move to a monthly subscription model as required by Patreon
  2. Everyone adjusts their Patreon pledges to a smaller amount to account for monthly billing
  3. Patreon also offers the option of annual subscription -- we are reviewing this feature
  4. If AniDB accumulates more money than we need, we will use Patreon's "pause monthly billing" feature to pause billings for 1 month at a time
  5. We keep pausing each month, as needed, until we burn off our surplus funds


Based on our current hosting costs, we need approximately $3,100 USD per year ($258 USD per month) to keep the lights on.

We will post more details and plans in the new year. Until then, enjoy the banner contest below as usual for this Christmas and New Year's!

Please keep all discussion regarding this matter on the AniDB Forum in this thread.


[Patreon] 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year's Patreon Campaign Banner Contest!


Hi everyone,

Christmas is coming, with New Year's right around the corner! Time to bundle up as we head into winter. Unique to Japan, their celebration of Christmas often involves ordering KFC for the family. For New Year's, Japanese decorate their front doors with a kadomatsu.

Thank you again to all of our Patreon supporters for keeping us alive. As mentioned during the 2024 Spring campaign, this Winter we will be refilling the AniDB bank account with a new fundraising Patreon post.

The Contest


Users have the chance to contribute their creativity to the Patron post banner! See the submissions of our 2024 Spring contest here: https://anidb.net/forum/thread/806008

They are sage beings that occupy the realms and gates between humanity and the gods., fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry.

Medium breasts are what would be considered normal size in real life, whereas below average sized breasts are called small breasts., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book.

conspiracyThe conspiracy thriller (or paranoid thriller) is a sub-genre of the thriller which flourished in the 1970s in the US (and was echoed in other parts of the world) in the wake of a number of high-profile scandals and controversies (most notably Vietnam, the assassination of President Kennedy, Chappaquiddick and Watergate), and which exposed what many people regarded as the clandestine machinations and conspiracies beneath the orderly fabric of political life. The protagonists of conspiracy thrillers are often journalists or amateur investigators who find themselves (often inadvertently) pulling on a small thread which unravels a vast conspiracy that ultimately goes "all the way to the top"., militaryThe military, also known as the armed forces, are forces authorized and legally entitled to use deadly force so as to support the interests of the state and its citizens. The task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its citizens and the prosecution of war against foreign powers.
