Ben Thompson’s daily update reviews the App Store vs. Patreon mess:

In short, Apple is taking a percentage of individual creator subscriptions, but it is treating every individual creator as if they are a subsidiary of Patreon. It’s as if Apple can’t even conceive of the possibility of there being any sort of platform other than themselves; they may still market themselves as the company for creators, but their actions suggest they truly don’t care.

He also suggests a solution: Apple could charge 30% of Patreon’s own 8% fee, because Patreon is passing almost all of the money on to creators.
