Hey all, it's SatsumaLord here; just wanted people to be aware that Patreon will be doing an update some point in November, wherein you'll basically be charged more to pledge to someone's Patreon, if you happen to be pledging through the Patreon app on your phone.

So to avoid that, if you want to pledge to someone's Patreon page, be sure to do it through your regular web browser, rather than the Patreon app; that way, you're not being charged extra for the same rewards (since from what I can tell, by pledging to someone through the Patreon app, Apple iOS is applying a fee to your Patreon pledge, therefore charging you more for the same rewards as someone who pledged through a web browser).

In addition, I myself opted out of their update until November of 2025, so because of that, it sounds like I won't appear in the Patreon app anyway; so yeah, if you want to pledge to my Patreon page, be sure to do it through your regular web browser.

Anyway, just wanted people to be aware of that kind of thing, and I hope that you're all doing well. =3

One small correction to this, it only applies to iOS users and not the app on other devices It’s a result of Apple demanding their cut for any payments made on their devices Rather than take it out of what the creators would earn, Patreon opted to upcharge instead (and subtly suggest that people not do subs that way)

Okay, good to know; I'll admit that I didn't fully know what the deal was, but I appreciate the clarification. :) With that said, it might still be better to pledge to someone's Patreon through the web browser, just in case the app decides to do something similar for all phone platforms, not just Apple.
