Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App
Dojan@pawb.social 2 months agoYeah. But why would you use the app? I personally didn’t know there even was an app.

Maybe it offers something better than on whatever web browser Apple mandates, or maybe no reason but user preference.

There’s no way that the Patreon app isn’t more than a dolled up web view. If people make stupid decisions I guess the fallout is on them.

Sadly the fallout is usually on everyone - eventually companies will copy a shady practice as it’s been shown they can get away with it until no other option exists. It falls on the technologically literate to call out when others are being mistreated or they can suffer too.

No, the fallout is on creators.

I have the Android app, but I can download podcast episodes on WiFi to save on mobile data. That’s as good a reason as any to use the app.
artyom@piefed.social 2 months ago
You could also use any other podcast app.

PWAs aren’t great on iPhone… They intentionally limit some functionality to push people towards the App Store.
Some people want everything as apps for some reason.
