Hold up (fta):
I'm unclear on what this means: is Patreon eliminating first-of-the-month and per-creation plans on ALL platforms? Or just on Apple platforms?
THIS is why we hate Apple. Their bullshit affects EVERYONE. There is no "don't like it don't use it" with these people.
Seems like it's a backend change and they're removing per creation entirely. Got an email from one of the creators I follow about getting suggestions on how to restructure their tiers for the new system. My guess is it would be tricky to setup a way to have creators do android/web tiers and apple tiers, not to mention confusing. And of course they can't just pull a Spotify and have a pop-up that says 'sorry you must use the web to subscribe' on iPhones.
Because using a web browser is soo 1994
They removed this feature from web browsers too. Not just the app.
Hmm. Maybe they were finding it hard to manage and just found the perfect excuse.
Maybe they are planning on starting subscription scams like other companies.
Who knows. I just know to stay away from automated payments.
