You've probably gotten an email or notification but starting in November, iOS users will have to switch their payment processing over to Apple's processing service, incurring a 30% fee that artists won't see a dime from so everybody's getting screwed over. If you are currently on a subscription I do not believe this will apply but I encourage looking up the official policy change statement and I STRONGLY suggest using the web to process your payments going forward instead of the app.

Also: the next page of The Ember might be one day late as I've been struggling a little bit with drawing a certain body part that I'm not exactly known for drawing. The sketch is almost finished but I need to go over it once or twice more. Inking and coloring typically takes me about a day of work each so it might not be the usual Wednesday morning upload I've been keeping up for the past while. That said I can't imagine it takes me more than one extra day. Thanks for your patience and I hope you like where the comic goes next!!!

EDIT: DISREGARD THE SECOND HALF OF THIS. The comic will release on time because I'm a champion. Now excuse me while I go lie down and rest my back for precisely one million years.

Just heard about this from another Patron. Luckily I neither use apple devices nor do I make payments over the apps, but this is such a shitty move on Apple's part

Yeah apple is such a huge part of why adult artists have been really getting hammered over the past decade. It really sucks to see a company with no business getting involved with this stuff really squeeze every bit of money and power they can get.

Can you explain simply for none English readers?

basically: Don't pay for patreon on your Apple device. Instead, go to the internet on your PC or laptop and pay for it there. If you subscribe with an iphone you'll be paying more. If you're already subscribed I *think* you're fine, but Patreon themselves will have more info.

I'm dying laughing because I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're talking about, and I feel that so much. Complicated bugger lmao
