Little change in Patreon
Some of you might have heard of it but I'll warn you nonetheless : starting November, Apple will start taking a fee from subscriptions made from the app on an apple device.
What does it mean for you ? If you're already a paying member, nothing will change. But if you're planning on subscribing to a tier after the end of October or if you're the type who prefers to come and go, I'd advise subscribing from Patreon's website on a desktop and not from the app on your apple device (android users are fine) because the prices will be higher on the app!
Then you can log into the app and see the content but just for the subscription part, you might want to use the desktop version!
Tl, dr : Starting November, tiers prices on Patreon's app on an Apple device will include Apple's fee and be HIGHER than everywhere else, which means you'll pay more than if you subscribe on the desktop version (or from an android device). I'll get paid the same, Apple will just be a bit richer.
Anyway, now you know and can choose where to subscribe from to your favorite creators :)
EDIT : Apparently the change will be progressive so Patreon will send me a message when it's effective on my account. I'll then add a little note on each tier so that people know what they're getting into but I don't know when exactly that will be.

How apple can run as if they have monopoly is almost just fascinating at this point. You’d think people would know to choose smarter, but I guess we truly just are sheep. (Written on an iPhone)
I appreciate the little doodle
Jeez, thats rude. Thanks for the heads up :)
It’s for ALL apple apps, I think.
Yes but they've only added the fee for Patreon this November apparently?
Appreciate the heads up :)
