I’m glad everyone is getting away from the Apple tax.
Normie has no problem paying… He is rich
Ain’t no billions of rich normies around these days.
Fuck closed off mobile stores, it’s all a scam.
Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?
If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.
I didn’t even know Patreon had a mobile app. To me, Patreon is just one of those Big Adult Things you have to do on a computer. Seems to work just fine on mobile browser (Firefox for Android) though. Apple being mega greedy as usual.
As someone who attempts to watch content on the iOS app, it’s a massive pile of shit and you’re right to use the browser only
The change from pay per episode to per month was a direct result of crApple’s 30% tax. This hurt Patreon directly because a bunch of creators were pissed about the change and blamed Patreon for not fighting back, so they left. So Patreon has lost revenue over this, how much I have no idea but I know several of the podcasts I listen to have stopped asking you to pay via Patreon and are now asking you to donate via Substack or their private donation page.
If you are releasing regularly - MWF, or every Sunday a monthly subscription works well. However if you are the type that makes good content but can’t release often you want pay per episode. If you sometimes release twice a month, and sometimes go months between a release it isn’t fair to ask your viewers to subscribe in months where they get nothing.
Patreon app is literally their website. What does it do that the website does not? Notifications? Offline images? All of these can be done in your mobile browser.
Too little, too late. I only know 2 creators that I supported who stayed through all this. Most quit patreon when it was announced… this is hardly the worst of the fees they charge people.
So how many quit? Can you name them? Where did they move to?
