iOS/Patreon forcing changes (Patreon)
Content
Heya!
Just got this email -- Apple users' new pledges to Patreon after November will have a hefty 30% Apple Tax added. They're also forcing creators to move to a subscription model by November to enforce this.
I've lots of questions so i'll need more info before I found out how much this affects OSW (I'm hoping not much), but I thought i'd keep ya in the loop!For advice for pledging to new creators after November: if possible, pledge on a non-iOS device (eg laptop) and then log into your iPhone app to access the content. Boom!
Appreciate you brothers. Apple users really get screwed with their "Apple Tax" -- have you noticed looking at prices on eBay, Amazon, making accommodation reservations on Booking etc is more expensive on iOS devices? Particularly an iPad!! It's fookin' mental. Anyway hopefully this won't mean too much change I'll let ya know when I do! All the best, Love, Jay 💚
p.s. I'm doing final editing for the next OSW so i should have good news for ye over the next week!
