Fi, infosec-aspected

@AmyZenunim @Haste

Trying to make a living when a significant part of your income can vanish due to the platform nonconsensually changing the terms is ....fucking impossible.

@munin @Haste if it's anything like Twitch, Patreon will outright pass the markup directly to the customer and encourage them to sub through the web interface instead for the actual/real price

Patreon isn't really changing the terms here, this is all on Apple, which I entirely agree is a shitty move and need to be taken to court over, but it's a different story than "Apple owns 38% of everything I make effective immediately"

@AmyZenunim @munin

I feel like you and I don’t fundamentally disagree, just differing on details. That is perfectly okay. 👍

As I detailed in my article last year, the problem is that I should not be beholden to one-sided power dynamics like this which I cannot control.

Apple and Patreon can negotiate with each other. I have no power to force them to agree to my terms and conditions, but they do.

@Haste @munin I'm hoping that Patreon allows creators to turn off Apple Pay (and Google Wallet, tbh, because it's the exact same shit from Google) for their patrons

if not then Patreon is at fault here

@AmyZenunim @munin They said in the announcement that they will not, because Apples terms prohibit it. That’s the whole problem.
