Hi everyone,

This poll may seem a little strange, but there are some potential changes coming to Patreon in the next year. This is in some part due to the fact that Apple is trying to add 30% fees to any in-app purchases made via apps on the IOS app store, including subscriptions like Patreon.

 I am trying to get some information on how many of you initially signed up for my Patreon through the app (as opposed to on desktop/via the website). If you use the app to browse my content/get notifications, but did not initially sign up and input your payment information using the app, then that does not count as signing up using the app.

You can see more about the upcoming changes here - https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

This news is all very new and we as creators are pushing back against Patreon, but I will make sure to keep you updated as much as possible and with plenty of notice if anything does change. At the very least nothing will happen before November, and possibly not for much longer after that.

PLEASE NOTE Patrons already signed up before November will not be effected by any of these changes.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. Getting information from polls like this will hopefully help going forwards.
