New Patreon Update

Hey everyone! So this just happened. Apple is doing what they do best, so starting November if you wanna join someone’s Patreon through the iOS app, it’s going to charge you more for simply having an iOS system… thanks Apple.

Just figured I give you guys the heads up so you don’t join through the app if you’re ever interested. (In mine or any other creator’s Patreon) You’ll save money if you join through the website.

EU laws are actually pro-customer, Apple hates everything pro-customer.

Funny enough this is a reaction to the eu trying step in and control apple this is apart apples change that technicaly makes them in line with eu law while fucking everyone over in process

All this is a reaction to the eu forcing apple to alow exsternal stores apples reaction t the law was just add exstra charges ro all third partys to anoy the eu technicaly following their law

Yet another reason I avoid Apple tech like the plague.

Back b4 my iPod broke, I was told for $30 you could get unlimited iTunes music. Which seemed like a deal, but then I discovered Spotify was better.

Out of curiosity, why did you consider switching? I rarely see someone actively consider switching to iOS. Also, it's always been a requirement for apps that accept any in-app purchases to use Apple's system with the 30% cut, so I'm honestly not sure how Patreon has avoided it until now, unless they had some sort of deal with Apple or just somehow flew under the radar. Always pay through an app/platform's own service.

So glad I use Android phones. I was actually thinking of switching, but this just made my mind up for me.

Animegirl

As if people needed more reasons not to use Apple products.

David Bodor

Okay no! this is getting ridiculous now 🤦🏻‍♂️

Joshua Gwinnell

I find the video experience the same between browser and app, but the website is more of a hassle to use for me.

SauceyRed

It’s not a new thing, all apps with in-app purchases must use Apple’s system with the 30% cut (unless they have some kind of deal with Apple). Honestly don’t know how Patreon hasn’t had to comply with it until now unless they had a deal.

SauceyRed

That’s only if a creator switches over to that subscription model, if they don’t, subscriptions for that creator will just be unavailable in the app.

SauceyRed

That and apparently from November onwards, Patreon memberships people join will be charged on the date you joined each patreon instead of on the first of the month.

Company bastards

I never downloaded the app. Glad to see that I never will. Thanks for the heads up. You’re awesome 👍🏻

Phineas5381

Okay thanks for letting us know.

Maggie Ray

Awesome thank you so much for the heads up!

Brookie XD

Really appreciate the heads up Elijah. It really is disappointing that Apple are doing this.

Robbie Thornton

It says it will not impact current members. Just new ones starting November.

Not-So-Average-Fangirl

Do you know if this will effect any current memberships that were originally joined through the IOS months ago?

Brookie XD

So the options they give you are: “1. We take more money from your Patrons. 2. We take money from you.” Thanks Apple

Cam

WOW I fucking hate apple and being chained to an iphone so fucking much I wish my toddler brain would let me switch 😤 thank you so much for the heads up

Vince

The enshittification of the internet continues...

Ryan Porter

I signed on via desktop, but the heads up is appreciated. Glad you’re looking out for your fans here, regardless of whether or not I personally would have needed to hear about it.

To be fair I only use the iOS app for notifications and the website for videos. Watching vids on the iOS app is beyond tedious

The Akimbo Knight

Jeez Apple, thanks sooo much 🤕 Thanks for letting us know! ^^

Android here. Yikes. Thanks for the information!

Jesse Miller

So, don’t join a Patreon creator’s membership via IOS app. Never did, never will.

Sonicblue21

It's a good thing I have Samsung phone

MRRSDS51015

You’re an angel.
