In your account settings, you will now only see the privacy options about the supporter page appearance if you have an active subscription (and thus, are affected).

If you don’t have an active subscription, you can go directly to the upgrade page from the account sidebar instead of seeing an empty subscriptions overview page (but we improved the look of this one, too).
