Is Mastodon Social receiving any funds from 3rd party client apps?
I want a good app, and to support the developers, and subscribe to apps. Some may think or hope some of that subscription goes to maintain platform servers
I was just wondering if the developers of such apps are sending any of those proceeds to the platform.
People will overpay for convenience of payment, perhaps, let them?

If Patreon doesn’t want to pay Apple, it should remove the app from the App store.
