Important Update for Apple Users!
🕑 Added 2024-11-02 06:45:54 +0000 UTC🚨 Attention Apple enthusiasts! 🍏 This message is mostly for potential new members, but if you’re considering leaving and returning later, please read on! 👀
Starting November 2024, Apple will begin enforcing a 30% service fee on payments made through the Patreon app. 📲💸 This fee only affects patrons using an iPhone or iPad for signing up and making payments. Android and desktop users are not impacted. ✅
Here’s the deal: Apple is adding a 30% surcharge on all transactions made via their iOS app, and neither Patreon nor its creators see a dime of this fee—it’s entirely Apple’s take. 🍏 Patreon has to include this fee, or the app won’t be allowed on Apple’s platform.
How to Bypass This Fee? 💡 Stick to using the Patreon website on a desktop or Android device to handle any payments, rather than using the iOS app. 💻🤖
If you’re looking to upgrade your membership or are thinking of joining as a new patron, make sure to use a desktop or Android device for payment. 🖥️ If you cancel and then re-subscribe using an Apple device, this 30% fee will apply.
The best way to avoid it? Use Patreon’s website on a computer or Android for payments. 🖱️
Can I Still Use the App on My iPhone or iPad? ✅ Absolutely! You can still like posts, leave comments, and browse content in the Patreon app—just avoid making payments there. 😊
Hope this heads-up helps you steer clear of those extra fees. 💸 Looking forward to having you on Patreon! 🎉

Guess 30 billion year profit doesn't go as far as it use too

Ikr? 😤 It’s frustrating, especially since that extra 30% just goes to Apple, with no benefit for creators or Patreon. That’s why it's worth using the website or an Android device to avoid that fee altogether.
