iOS Patreon Changes

Long story short: Apple sucks and will be changing how Patreon memberships are going to work in November. However, this change only applies to new patrons who subscribe through the iOS Patreon App.
A quote from the email Patreon's Support Staff sent me earlier today:"First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app beginning in November 2024."
The change in question is that Apple is altering its deal with Patreon so that all in-app purchases on iOS are subject to Apple's 30% App Store few. This means that come November, new patrons joining via the iOS App would have to pay 30% more.
However, this extra charge is optional to apply from the Creator side and I do not believe that fans should have to front extra cash just because big corporations are being dickish. So I'm not going to charge extra on iOS, like Patreon's staff are recommending that I do. The economy is rough enough as it is, and I'd rather take a paycut because I value people's ability to enjoy my art more.
Just making this announcement to make it clear that nothing will change for my Patreon at least 🙂

I'm shocked Apple hasn't blocked Patreon yet.

That is, by far, the easiest way to get the app killed. If it’s more convenient to use the browser version than the app, and you can still use the browser version on iOS devices, your savvy consumers will just use the browser version. Then again, everyone wants their pound of flesh, even if they have more than their share.
