Patreon changes
🕑 Added 2024-08-13 03:03:21 +0000 UTCOnce again, Patreon is caving to outside pressures. This time, Apple will be forcing Patreon to adopt their in-app payment system for anyone using the IOS Patreon app, which has the added effect of not allowing the per-page charging that Sabrina Online currently uses. I don't plan on making any changes here until at least the end of the year, as there is a grace period before certain payment models are cut off completely, then I will be having discussions about what changes will work best for me and all (or most) of you.
Until then, I would recommend that you NOT use the Apple iOS Patreon app when pledging to a creator or renewing, and instead do so though your standard web browser, as:
The app will not allow you to pledge to those using per-creation payments like this one after November.
App payment tacks on an additional fee which goes directly to Apple, not Patreon or the artists/creators.
Thanks for your time, - Eric Schwartz

I pay through the website. Good for me!

Good thing I set up my payment though the website itself while on my PC.

It's not the iOS app, IIRC, it's setting up the payment for Patreon through the app.

The only Apple product my family uses is the iPhone my mother was issued by her job, and she hates it compared to her personal Android phone.

Fortunately I don't do any of my payments through an OS, Android Play Store, or Microsoft store... I purchase directly from and through the sites.

Definitely glad I'm on android. Haven't had an Apple product since the OG iPod.

Apple really needs to get their sociopathic gloves away from artists and their money
