Watching what's happening to Patreon today and the subsequent users not accepting their bullshit whining about "b-b-but the Big Bad Apple is making us do this!" is glorious.

Neither of these companies have to charge these fees, and Patreon doesn't have to be in bed with Apple - nobody needs another app that requires an app store (unless it has something to do with needing direct access to the underlying communications hardware of the device, IMO).

I hope that this situation a) takes both of these companies down a peg or three, b) it wakes up companies and stops all this "app madness", and c) that it is just the first salvo of the users fighting back against corpo greed and usury.

WE ARE NOT YOUR PRODUCT!
