Patreon is actively seeking to ruin the platform's ease of use and are citing Apple's recent mandates as the reason why. Patreon is going to enforce these changes in order to stay on the iOS store, but I'm sure bending over backwards for Apple will stop right there, right?

The situation's a little too fresh (having just learned the info within the last hour) so there's not much to say about it, but a bunch of us are yelling at Patreon in the Discord Server right now.

Here's what you need to know:

All Patreon creators are going to be forced to the SUBSCRIPTION MODEL.

This means I will no longer receive 100% of my income at the start of the month.

This means you will be charged MULTIPLE TIMES on different days during the month based on when you pledged to a creator; like managing netflix, hulu, and disney + subscriptions.

Also membership prices on the iOS app will cost 30% more. Example: $10 tier will cost $14.

Anyway I just thought I'd let you know before any big things ended up going down.

Oh, damn... That sucks that they're making a big change like this. I don't mind paying extra for the tier I'm in, in order for you to make up that loss of money. 🫡💖

For context, in europe pledge get tax slapped on so I already pay an extra 20% I think? Thankfully I'm not using apple so I probably won't be impacted, unless apple go forward with asking 20% of all sales of company with an iOS app that advertise a payment option other than apple pay

Another important detail, is that membership purchased USING the patreon app on the iOS will ALSO be subjected to apple's 30% app store fee. So I recommend you stay away from subscribing to new patrons through the app and simply do it on the browser
