Apple has set a new deadline of November 1, 2026 for all Patreon creators to switch from Patreon's legacy billing system to the App Store's in-app purchase system in the Patreon app on the iPhone and iPad, as reported by TechCrunch. Note: This image has been edited to include a pile of cash. Patreon is a platform where creators such as YouTubers can receive payments from fans, which can be a valuable revenue stream alongside ads and sponsorships.

    That’s why you should not use or install the app

      I understand you mean that we should use the webpage instead, right?

        Yes. Cut out the middleman that is just there to take money and doesn’t offer anything extra.

          Yeah I agree, but their comment might have been read as if they were criticising patreon itself, since for a lot of people the concept of “app” is the whole service. That’s why I asked for clarification while directing them to the good outcome :)

      You can absolutely still use the app, so long as you subscribe on the web.

        Then what would you use the app for? Unsubscribing.

      More countries need to force Apple to allow sideloading on IOS.

    As an ex-apple fan girl I have cancelled all of my apple services and am moving mostly to self hosted services.

    How is that even possible?
    They can charge for the app in their app store, but how can they take a cut from the paid subscriptions of another company?

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
