Announcement: Apple Changes
🕑 Added 2024-11-19 17:00:11 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Bit of a sour announcement today but...
Apple has hit Patreon with additional fees they need to pay to keep themselves in the app store. This is just on the Apple app for new members and does not affect web browsing, Android users or existing members on the Apple app.
If you stay with your current BKS account and don't cancel, you won't be impacted by this change. But if you do cancel and then sign up again through the Apple app you will have to pay this extra fee (30% extra). If you are on Apple and sign up through web browser instead on www.patreon.com/bestkeptsecret, you can get around the charge and you won't have to pay the fee.
Apple is rolling this out over time so we're not 100% sure when this will hit but just wanted to make sure all of the BKS community is aware of this coming.

If the extra money went to the user like BKS, I wouldn't care, but it's to a corporation and that's messed up

I'm about to disappoint you. I'm not on the bird app. But you can find me here whenever BKS drops. (I say things.). Blame it on my 'tism. I only have enough masking and filters for work. After that they come off like a bra.

Are Apple really that desperate for money? Sheesh… Does it means affecting new account? I just hope my Patreon or PayPal doesn’t encounter error or whatever it was, like the last time. It was randomly cancelled and I couldn’t access BKS. 😭😭😭. I had to subscribe to it again but with the same account.

Thank you for the heads up 🙏 do you know if it applies if we just bump up our tier levels? I have a couple I was considering doing that on Patreon but I might have to find a work around for that one too.

Thanks for giving folks the heads up, Rob.

I promise that's as political as I'll get in here. I just don't appreciate CEO's putting their greedy, grubby hands in my sister-wives/husbands/fams' pockets and limpd*ck cockblocking access to their smut!! Ain't NOTHING sacred in this economy! Not eggs, not nothing!

understood

Fxxk I will sue my iPhone for the loan😇🙏

I'm American so I really can't handle any more sour announcements right now. BUT. . .if good sir in the pic is the one relaying the news, I might demurely tuck the locs behind the ear.💁🏿♀️ Praying for everyone on Steve Job's plantation. May we all be freed from the corporation Matrix.

Thanks for always looking out for us 🩷

Pro tip: Anyone who has an Apple should ALWAYS sign up for things through a website, preferably on a computer/laptop instead of the app to avoid the extra fees the app takes out. This ensures the small companies you’re purchasing for get the most of your money and/or you’re not paying more than you should. Apple user here, eff the late stage capitalism ☠️
