If you use the Patreon app on Apple's IOS, Apple are going to start taking 30% of whatever you're very kindly trying to give to the creators you support.Patreon themselves are setting up a system where this 30% can either be absorbed by the creators - meaning they lose revenue - or the tier fees paid by patrons who use the app are automatically adjusted, so they pay more.I'm afraid that I will have to opt for the latter, so, in November, if you set up your subscription to my Patreon via the app, you're going to see a minor bump in the price.Users who set everything up via browser or android are completely unaffected.Here's Patreon's article on the matter:https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

Been telling people apple is crap for years, stopped using them after the G3.

Good thing I never used Apple. And I never will since they decided to stop being a customer to DB Schenker because they didn't want to pay the workers anymore, forcing the entire site to shut down and putting those 400+ workers (including me) out of work.

Used to work on a mobile game. Having Apple and Goog yoink a third of our revenue was .. a challenge.
