To follow this logic: if you use an e-banking app, Apple will soon claim to be entitled to 30% of all transactions. Same for paypal, ebay, you name it

    Apple charges 30% when you sell digital goods within an app. That's not the same as moving money in your bank account or buying something on eBay.

    It's still robbery, but it's not the same.

    When people subscribe, they typically get something digital in return on Patreon.

    Does eBay sell digital goods?

    I'd kinda expect the answer to be yes if so if you use the ebay app? If not, I'm actually surprised.
