Reminder to never purchase things through an app

If the thing you're paying for has a normal website, the app version is almost always price gouging you for the same service in order to compensate for Apple or Android's HUGE fees. Do not pay for Patreon, Netflix, YouTube, etc through their app. Use their website.

Fixed. That was weeeeird. It took several edits to get Patreon to stop changing the link and breaking it.

That youtube link leads nowhere, it seems.

From what I could find yes.

The fee is for buying/subscribing, not for using the app. You can buy/subscribe on the website and cancel on the app

It seems less common, but you should always check. Especially since the incentive is always there for them to add them even if they're not there yet.

Does android also have fees? I thought it was just apple thing.

But it's so much harder to cancel on the website
