You can already pay on the website. If you pay through Apple Pay and therefore pay the extra 30%, that's kinda on you at this point.
Cunt move by Apple, but the in-app purchase payment processing going through apple only rule has been there for a long ass time, Patreon got pretty lucky that they were given so much leeway for so long.
the patreon influencers just need to warn to pay through the website.
