Patreon iOS Update
Added 2024-10-21 10:37:51 +0000 UTCHey SWAFT Nation,
Starting in November 2024, Apple is requiring a 30% fee on new memberships purchased through the Patreon iOS app. This means prices will increase for iOS users. To avoid this fee, we recommend signing up through Patreon’s website instead (take that, Apple Store).
Existing members and those joining via desktop or Android won’t be affected. Thank you for your continued support, and feel free to reach out with any questions!

2024-10-25 23:34:33 +0000 UTCI just did a courtesy search and google takes 15% on subscriptions (they actually reduced it from 30% in year 1 then 15% afterwards which is what apple does) so its an interesting thing now… if that 30% is being passed onto the customer on the ios app store but the 15% isnt on the google play store then the creator gets less through google Which to be honest i think is the actual issue here, i don’t believe apple is actually changing anything about how they operate, but so much of patreons revenue is being lost from that cut (which is why i believe it will follow ok google play store too) that they’re increasing prices on those platforms to compensate Which goes back to my original point, just go to the source whenever possible

2024-10-22 05:35:27 +0000 UTCI do keep subscription at the source, but I'm also not going to sit here and pretend that Google increases are inevitable. I can add Dropout to the list services that didn't that started with Twitch. Keep reason firmly in its stead, and all that

2024-10-22 05:32:28 +0000 UTCYet another reason why i will NEVER use apple products.

2024-10-21 16:37:41 +0000 UTCYet being the key word there, these companies are as greedy as each other so always better to just subscribe at the source rather than through an app store (apple, google, Samsung etc)

2024-10-21 14:41:41 +0000 UTCThey haven't yet. Apple has been charging more for twitch subscriptions for ages.

2024-10-21 11:10:40 +0000 UTCKeep in mind that all of us already subscribed will not be effected by this change unless you change your subscription
Chad Gregory
2024-10-21 11:04:53 +0000 UTCI’ll pay extra to extra to keep as many subscriptions in one place as possible. That’s for the notice though!

2024-10-21 11:03:58 +0000 UTCProbably best for android users to do the same… once apple does something like this google will follow
