Heads up for Apple device users
Hey guys! Quick heads up!
In November, Patreon is being forced by Apple to give 30% tax on income through the App Store. Either the patrons will pay this tax, or the creator account itself will pay for this. That's up to each creator, but they don't recommend creators to pay for this themselves.
As far as I understand it, there's an easy way to circumvent this, luckily. Anyone here who is currently making Patreon payements through the iOS Patreon app: If you're able to set up the payments using the Patreon website (not the iOS app), then this new rule will be irrelevant to you.
I think it'll be fine, though I think this new rule sucks. Just make sure to check your payment method!

i hate owning apple phones
This is the main reason I will never own any apple products. They are a greedy money hungry corporation that will squeeze every penny they can out of any service.
Thanks for the heads up 👍 I’ll see if I have to switch up where to pay
Google : convicted of being a monopoly Apple : hold my beer with this proprietary bottle opener
30%?! That is wild. Thank God I have android.
