Pateron prices going up ... on Apple IOS - robkelk - 08-14-2024

Pateron: Apple’s requirements are about to hit creators and fans on Patreon. Here’s what you need to know.

tl;dr: New Pateron subscriptions will be subject to a 30% fee increase starting in November. Windows and Linux pricing is unaffected.

So if you have an iPhone and a Windows PC, sign up to sponsor creators on the PC, and don't give Apple the additional money.

(Fair disclosure: I own stock in Microsoft, so I'm biased here.)

I long for the days when Apple was insanely great, not just insane. They say you die a hero or live long enough to become a villain, but corporations usually start somewhere well along that slope to begin with, alas.

You misspelled "Patreon" twice.
 
You own stock in Microsoft? Is that why we use Teams for the weekly teleconferences? Tongue

Hmm. I don't use Patreon myself, but do wonder...you mention it affects iPhone, what about Android?

It shouldn't affect Android. Google's policies are what you need to worry about there.

And I just noticed that Patreon is misspelled in the thread title, too.

Not Google's policies, Apple's.

No, Rob, he meant that if a similar increase is imposed on Android, it will be because of Google.
