I love Apple stuff. I'm all in, iPads, iPhones, AirPods, Apple TVs, HomePods various *Books everywhere.

I wish Patreon had more apps. It's a pain to watch videos on my TV. I have to mirror my iPad and keep tapping the screen to keep it from locking and ending the session.

But they're being forced to use a payment platform that they don't want to use and have to alter/drop one of their best features to do it.

Feels like getting a dry cleaning bill from the guy who stabbed you.



It sounds like the problem is that you're using a combination of devices that makes it unusually hard to just play a video from not-your-TV on your TV.


Or, Apple could stop coercing Patreon into setting 30% of donations on fire and Patreon could make the Apple TV app. Everyone wins.

Apple should have a carve out for small donations/creator support just like physical goods.
