Apple's 30% in-app fee has not only spread to more creator platforms like Patreon but is also eating away at creator earnings, leaving them frustrated.
Lindsey Gamble notes that while Apple's influence has been favorable for the creator economy, the substantial fee now significantly hampers creators by forcing them to raise subscription prices.
The tech giant's 30% cut, affecting platforms that include Kajabi and Mighty Networks, diminishes creator earnings without offering adequate services in return, according to industry insiders.
Unlike platforms like YouTube, which justifies its fees with tangible services, Apple’s model imposes costs on creators without any clear value proposition, creating considerable resentment among them.
