Oh look, another change Patreon is foisting upon us, but this time it's Apple's fault! And probably illegal for them to insist upon! But switching from fixed billing date to a recurring monthly charge will PROBABLY be a lateral move at worst (I'll just need to buckle down and figure out how to do the rewards when it's different for everyone...)
No I'm making this notice to tell you: do not use the iOS app to subscribe. Apple will take a 30% cut, which is outrageous and also I am not absorbing that. We have the option to absorb the fee but why would I do that? No, just sub on any other device. Apple does not deserve your money.
EDIT: Oh also, if you're CURRENTLY subbed on iOS, they will not be taking the additional fee until you unsub/resub... I think. I don't expect them to hold to that forever, but for now you don't need to make any changes.
