Like Fanhouse, Patreon is a creator monetization app that doesn't pay Apple the 30%, yet is allowed to remain on the app store. It begs the question: why doesn't Apple take any cut from these platforms? Why do big corporations that can afford to pay get the biggest breaks?pic.twitter.com/T0FneYk5Me

And why do creators have to pay the price instead?

Apple claims to champion innovation, yet startups that have only existed for months are threatened to be removed unless they cough up 30% that they don't even have. This is not the best user experience. This is not innovative software and services. This is theft and exploitation.pic.twitter.com/VLskoItMFu

I don't know what to do except make this thread as a cry for help. Again, this is not about Fanhouse being upset about making less profit. Apple can take 30% of our profits. Fuck it, they can take 50% of our profits. But we will NOT let them take money from hardworking creators.

Over 700 creators have made money on Fanhouse. We've paid out over $1 million to creators in the last 8 months, and I know that's nothing to Apple, but I am very proud of that. When creators share stories about how Fanhouse has changed their life or helped them in some way, I crypic.twitter.com/f3wFrj3Pp2

Even though we've just started, I know what we're doing makes a difference. I am asking Apple to give startups a chance. I am asking Apple to give creators a chance. The creator economy can never grow for as long as Apple demands 30% from creators. @apple @pschiller @tim_cookpic.twitter.com/lTBqHGq56T

I hope the founders and leaders of other creator companies will stand with us. @shl @jackconte @Mr312 @kayvz @eshear @mosseri @gaganbiyani @devrimyasar @josephpalbanese, if we want to help creators, we should never accept a policy that hurts and exploits them so much.

Apple, take your heavy cut from our profits, or allow us payment exceptions like you do other platforms. But please, let creators have a place where they can earn a fair income for their content. These people deserve the lion's share of their earnings and nothing less.

In the meantime, I encourage everyone to download Fanhouse on the app store while you still can (you’ll continue to have the app even if it’s removed). We at Fanhouse will continue working to give users an enjoyable platform and defend creators’ income with everything we have.

Maybe putting a face to these stories will help some empathize with what creators will face. There are real lives on the line. Apple isn't just taking the developer's profits (which we asked them to), they're taking it from the creators on Fanhouse who rely on this income. https://twitter.com/jasminericegirl/status/1403022286014365697 …

What 30% Means Fanhouse is a startup that pays 90% of transactions to creators. Apple is now threatening to remove us from the app store unless we give them 30% of all transactions, resulting in creators only receiving 60% of their earnings. Here's what 30% means to creators. pic.twitter.com/3JraRYFcLT

Replying to @jasminericegirl

Does one need an Apple device to use your app? And if not, are they trying to still take the 30% from creators that don't even use an Apple device? This is horrific all-around :/
