So would that mean Apple is taking 30% of the cut anytime I give ppl money on patreon? That’s fucking absurd

If done through their app. You can get around that by going through the site. I feel as if they just made the app open a website by default it should bypass them right? Like the app is literally a website launcher.

Apple is not that stupid - they will see through such tricks.

Which is also why Apple wants this: they don't get a cut of the money Patron makes.

I think if you subscribe from outside the app apple has nothing to do with it? I didn’t even know there was an app.
