There are a lot of people out there that will not use a website and only use an app for things. I’m willing to bet there’s some users of patreon on ios that don’t even know there is a website.
definitely. i know so many people from my school who’s iphone home screen is just… pages full of apps. we’re talking 40+ apps on average. they always say it’s weird how i use a website for almost everything, and then
they complain about their storage space :/
Does this mean Patreon too will have two tiers of billing system: standard billing via the Web and slightly higher prices if done in app. I think if one purchases a YouTube Premium membership in app on iOS, it costs more than when done via the site.
Yes, that’s exactly what they’re doing. If you have a Patreon, you must choose between increasing patreon price on Apple specifically compared to Android and Web, or you can keep the price the same, in which case you will earn less from users using iOS in-app purchase

Ah, damn.
OnlyFans doesn’t have an app but they’re still in business. We must educate people about not relying on apps for everything.

I tend to use whatever has the best user experience. I don’t use a browser for lemmy as an example.
I use lemmy on browser because lemmy apps seem too confusing to me lol
Notifications of new content are nice.
There’s this ancient standard called email
RSS is better suited for this.

Unfortunately, I think you hit the nail on the head. Apple knows this too. Also, unfortunate for those Apple-sheep 🙄
