Apple Goes Full Ted Empire (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

There's some news from Patreon this morning and it's so sucky and depressing but let me some it up:

If you are already a subscriber: You're fine. Nothing changes. Your subscription price is not going up.

If you are not a subscriber: Starting in November, Patreon will be forced to use Apple payments system which means Apple will be taking 30% of all new transactions through the app which means:

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANYTHING ON PATREON USING THE IOS APP. USE A WEB BROWSER.

If you sign up through a web browser, even the browser on your Apple phone, that 30% will not be taken out. You can then log in to your Patreon app on your phone and use Patreon the way you normally would.

Here's a link to Jack from Patreon talking all about it:

This sucks and we hate it, it's a real blow to people trying to create things independently coming from Apple, a company that likes to say it values the creative mind.

I think the video at the link sums it up pretty well, but if you've got questions, let me know in the comments.

We love you. New episode cometh in just a few days.

No Fucking Teds.
