Apple has set a new deadline of November 1, 2026 for all Patreon creators to switch from Patreon's legacy billing system to the App Store's in-app purchase system in the Patreon app on the iPhone and iPad, as reported by TechCrunch. Note: This image has been edited to include a pile of cash. Patreon is a platform where creators such as YouTubers can receive payments from fans, which can be a valuable revenue stream alongside ads and sponsorships.

    Right, the alternatives are sooooooooooo much better.

    Googles track record is on point , android for the win. (/s)

    Getting rid of Apple entirely would be like removing Coke from the beverage marketplace. It just allows the competition to worsen and consumer choice to be less.

    Apple > Google as a company in every moral category

        I didn’t think it would be such a stretch to say Coke > Pepsi but whatever bro. Apple is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less intrusive and integrated into the American government than Google.

        Google may as well be state sanctioned with how much they’re integrated with American military and as American spyware. So if those are the only choices for most people then yeah, I’d absolutely defend Apple over Google.

        Don’t worry, I’ll catch the next bandwagon.

      It is because there are less roadblocks to completely changing out the OS to be completely degoogled than it is to do the same for an iPhone or iPad. OS is the part that is the most damaging than the hardware itself, and alternate deAppled OS for iPhones and Ipad are pretty much nonexistent.
