Yet another reason to never ever use Apple. So if I just use the Patreon website and not an app, do I still have to give Apple 30% of my money? Seems like that should be illegal.

Thats exactly how it works for twitch and other stuff. If you're on mobile go to the website instead of the app otherwise they take a cut

Yes! Exploit the morons as much as they're willing to be exploited!

None of them have the brains/balls to fight back.

I've been warned many times in the past to not subscribe to people on the patreon app since it costs more then in browser because of the app store's cut. So is this just even worse then it was or was that just for the google play store before?

Didn't they just lose a lawsuit along these lines? I can't imagine this going well for them.

We will need an alternative to Patreon that even people on Patreon can go to

[–] lofuw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Direct payments with Monero seems like the best option.

Everything else takes a cut, which they do not deserve.

Damn! Creators are going to need another Patreon to supplement their Apple-induced Patreon shortfall.
