Is this workaround going to work?

I’m not sure if Patreon will take cent pledges. If they do, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Though just to point out, it’s not 500$, it’s 120$.

You can also try to sign up for Patreon’s beta program with annual memberships. I wouldn’t hope for anything though, I would be surprised if they still even checked the form submissions.

Allow patrons to pay annually - Allow creators to set annual payments per tier

For real xD I’m in the same boat, haha. There apparently is a secret invite form though. This is what they gave me: If you are interested in being considered for our annual memberships beta program when more spots are available, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/ZXaBLGHidtNtRTmo7 I’m uncertain of the timeline for when more spots will become available, however, if you are eligible and a spot opens up for you, a member of the Patreon team will reach out with more information.

Is there a reason they need to use Patreon though? Until annual subscriptions come out for everyone, they’ll have to do this all again a year later, assuming they’ll remember. A one-off payment elsewhere might be better. And if you lock certain posts to higher tiers, they’ll never see them anyway. (Since they’ll be pledged too low.)
