New Patreon Update
Added 2024-08-12 22:56:46 +0000 UTCHey 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.

2024-08-13 22:00:48 +0000 UTCYet another reason I avoid Apple tech like the plague.

2024-08-13 18:57:58 +0000 UTCBack 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.

2024-08-13 18:02:58 +0000 UTCOut 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.

2024-08-13 15:47:31 +0000 UTCAs if people needed more reasons not to use Apple products.

2024-08-13 07:40:58 +0000 UTCI find the video experience the same between browser and app, but the website is more of a hassle to use for me.
SauceyRed
2024-08-13 05:49:10 +0000 UTCIt’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.

2024-08-13 05:46:05 +0000 UTCThat’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
2024-08-13 05:44:14 +0000 UTCThat 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.

2024-08-12 23:17:32 +0000 UTCReally appreciate the heads up Elijah. It really is disappointing that Apple are doing this.
Robbie Thornton
2024-08-12 23:17:21 +0000 UTCIt says it will not impact current members. Just new ones starting November.

2024-08-12 23:15:54 +0000 UTCDo you know if this will effect any current memberships that were originally joined through the IOS months ago?
Brookie XD
2024-08-12 23:12:22 +0000 UTCSo the options they give you are: “1. We take more money from your Patrons. 2. We take money from you.” Thanks Apple

Ryan Porter
2024-08-12 23:07:46 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-08-12 23:07:40 +0000 UTCTo be fair I only use the iOS app for notifications and the website for videos. Watching vids on the iOS app is beyond tedious

2024-08-12 23:00:02 +0000 UTCSo, don’t join a Patreon creator’s membership via IOS app. Never did, never will.
