iOS Patreon Update + Future Plans
🕑 Added 2024-08-12 15:36:19 +0000 UTCHey all. Sorry again for the dry spell. I'll be headed back home this afternoon.
Today, Patreon has informed us that all Patreon supporters will be pushed to a subscription based service in November of this year. This is in accordance to Apple's demands, where they will take a 30% cut of what you give to Patreon. Note that this will not impact current pledged Patrons for now. If you are pledged via iOS, I recommend canceling your support before then and resupporting through other means.
I'm hearing word of people I support planning on moving. Unless specified otherwise, I will remain on Patreon. It's where everyone is, and I don't want to splinter people off of their primary platform. It never works well. That being said though, I will potentially look into Kofi as a potential backup. If I do switch over, there will be a month in advance warning just out of courtesy.

This is an Apple decision. Patreon's hands are unfortunately tied here.

Thank you for the update. Odd that I’m finding out an important bit of information from you rather than any announcement from Patreon itself, but I won’t complain. So if we want to support patrons, we have to pay an additional charge to just use the site? I don’t think I can say anything more about than expressing it is bad.
