Patreon's fees are reasonable for what it provides. Apple's aren't.
- tiltowait 2y agoMy, how the times have changed. When the App Store launched, people praised Apple for its low commission rate.
- brookst 2y agoRemember when authors of boxed software were lucky to get 20% net of sales? I do.
- boesboes 2y agoYou have any supporting argument for that? Like why is the one reasonable and the other not?
- falcolas 2y agoCreators disagreed when Patreon last increased their fees (2019), especially since their fee is on top of processing fees. In contrast, Apple's fees are directly in line with their competitors (Sony, Microsoft, Google).
- brookst 2y agoI agree. But that’s a pretty huge goalpost move from “Apple brings no value to these artists”.
