Hey NaughtySkunk instead of paying per month is there a way we can pay once a year on Patreon

In general there is an option for this, but there a some problems with that. That's why I don't activate that option.
1. Once activated, I can never switch back to monthly plans.
2. It is not possible to activate that option only for certain members, so everyone would be forced to pay in advance.
3. A lot of people don't like a pay-in-advance model, because it takes away their flexibility, they can't or don't want to pay a bigger amount in one bite and they are afraid that I would just collect all the money for one year in advanced and make a run for it (or just wouldn't care anymore). That would result in the loss of many subscribers if I were to activate that option.
4. I'm way too new in the game. Patreon itself recommends to activate this option ONLY when you are an established creator with lots of subscribers who know they can trust you and who are willing to accept such an option. Which is totally understandable.
I'm not saying that I won't activate that option ever, but definitely not in the near future. Should I be so lucky to get a lot of subscribers and the majority would want that option then sure, but as a newcomer it's not the way to go for.
