Alright, going to make this brief, but I need to address it before you start seeing information from other sources.

Apple wants 30% from Patreon for sign ups starting on an Apple Phone/Ipad. Patreon will start complying on Oct 31st for all subscription sign ups starting on an Apple Phone/Ipad. Probably smart watches too, those greedy grubbers.

If you have an existing subscription, regardless of how you signed up, nothing will change. If you resub on an android device or a pc, nothing will change.

However, to cover the 30%, Patreon will start charging you 45% more if you initiate your subscription on an apple app. Math is fun right?

If you signup elsewhere, you still have full access using an app. You just can't start a sub on the app without paying extra.

Hopefully that clear, lets get back to Bran fucking things up. If you have any question, please ask below.

Apple board room: Exec 1: We can't go after singers anymore, Taylor Will kick our asses. Exec 2: So who else can we abuse for money? Exec 1: I don't know, we've already trolled the users by ditching ipods, you want music on the go, buy a phone... who else can we squeeze. Exec 3: I've got it, guys I've got it. Let's go after other artists who *arent* singers, there's this thing called patron. Queen T won't touch us for that....

Daniel Glasson

It honestly shocks me that people still like Apple after all the bullshit they do

Dems

That’s only if use the ap? I signed up on line on my iPhone, didn’t even think about an ap.

Fuck apple. Hopefully this makes more people ditch there corrupt asses.

This is why androids are superior apple trying to nickel and dime everyone for supporting artists and authors that they have nothing to do with

So basically, if you sign up on the Patreon site, you won't have these problems?

One more reason not to overpay for Apple iShit

Sam

So we’re good if we’re “already” subscribed. Or doomed when the re sub hits after October. Or just doomed if you sign up after ?

Best to do it on brave or chromium on a desktop.

Apple tax will only apply to the Patreon APP downloaded from the APP STORE for New Subscriptions only. If you subscribe online using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. the Apple tax will not apply. If you are a current subscriber and do not cancel the subscription, the Apple Tax will not apply.

So if we unsub then sub on a computer then just keep using the app nothing changes?

As long as it's not Apple it fine.

Bruce_Sentar

Correct. Or if you stay subbed nothing changes.

Chris Cooper

This is why Apple trash should be banned. Apple stores are like cults.

Brian Di Nisio

Everyone is bashing Apple (and rightly so), but we’re just gonna ignore the fact that the app that Patreon REQUIRED we use, and now pay more than browser-based for + an additional 15% (for “reasons”), is…crap?

InSiddious

Then it's good that I don't use Apple products.

Dctrwho007

What about autopay? If I set it up in my iPhone do I just go on my pc and change redo it?

Conte Baracca

Thanks a ton for the heads up. Glad I don't use apple.

cee

Classic 'salami' approach - no-one notices when we shave off a bit more profit for ourselves as the money goes past ... used to be subtle 1 or 2% but banks seem to have started to set the trend at min 5% or so, and now you have audacious 15% (unless its 'social engineering', eg Patreon don't want to deal with this Apple BS either so let's try to make it *really* dead in the water!)

Brian Di Nisio

This isn’t going to hurt Apple, though, because they aren’t collecting money from this app yet, anyway. All this hurts is the content creators and the consumers, at a time when we’re getting smacked with extra costs everywhere. If they really wanted to hurt Apple, simply pull the app.

2 things- 1. Any word on DD 203? 2. Any word on Legendary rule 4?

Good thing I dropped Apple years ago, and do most of this stuff on PC lol
