Users who pay Patreon creators on their Apple device may be faced with increased costs.
Content creators who use the online platform Patreon may need to increase prices for their supporters to make up for tech giant Apple claiming a 30 per cent share of any transactions completed within the platform's app on iOS devices such as iPhones or iPads.
Apple did not respond to CBC News's requests for comment. In an emailed statement, Patreon says it doesn't have "much flexibility with this change" and is trying to prevent it from seriously disrupting creators' earnings. The company also said it does not recommend that creators leave their prices as-is, because Apple's 30 per cent cut will come out of the money the content provider would have made — not out of Patreon's revenues.The move is getting mixed to negative reviews from some Patreon creators.Tedium.
