@davidgerard In defence of Patreon having a mobile app: I support a couple creators that post videos only to Patreon and that’s the only way to watch them. Some I want to watch on my TV (they can be over an hour long) which is where AirPlay comes in.
Push notifications are also appreciated for some creators when their stuff is about current events.
It’s on my agenda to automate downloading videos to my Plex server, but until then, the app is ok.

@mroach of course, that doesn't actually require an app - it's an artificial restriction

@mroach @davidgerard
I've never used Patreon: can you not watch Patreon videos on a mobile web browser? Do you have to actually have the app? If so, that's crazy.

@artemis @mroach yes, it's completely artificial, and no it isn't a "defense" of the app in the slightesst
