Makes me think why ever since Photoshop was first created, Apple became the go-to for creatives for decades, and now Apple thinks it wants more money than just the fanatics going after their latest product.

Apple App Store and Google Play stores have a market duopoly. They should be forced to forfeit all or most of its fees.

Parasitic Tech must end. It's supposed to help us, not spy on us and steal from us.

I've been warned many times in the past to not subscribe to people on the patreon app since it costs more then in browser because of the app store's cut. So is this just even worse then it was or was that just for the google play store before?

That’s why we need rules and regulation around gatekeeper platforms like iOS and android. If both demand 30% there is no choice not to pay in certain circumstances.
