Every artist, performer and creator on Patreon is about to get screwed out of 30% of their gross revenue, which will be diverted to Apple, the most valuable company on the planet. Apple contributes nothing to their work, but it will get to steal a third of their wages. How is this possible? Enshittification.
can’t they just make it free and require membership to be purchased on the web? In other words don’t allow membership to be purchased in the app?
Yes. Many apps already do this. There is some specific wording you have to use since Apple doesn’t like when you do that, but yes you can.
