📣 Those who resort to bullying, especially targeting people with disabilities, reveal their own cowardice.

🗣️As Mahatma Gandhi wisely said, “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”

Let’s stand up against bullying and promote kindness and empathy instead. ☮️✨

Currently weighing my options as either

1) move to another payment processor, lose most of my patrons, and risk this all happening again next year or

2) just stop collecting money and eat grass

I honestly would rather have no income at all than arm companies with the capital they need to exploit me at a scale I cannot defend myself from.

* okay but do not eat grass even as a joke, it will destroy your teeth

So am I to understand that a full 38% of my revenue may now be siphoned off by Patreon and Apple, neither of whom contribute in any way to the creation of my work?

And that this is because Patreon wants to have an iOS app, which I do not need, do not benefit from, did not exist when I selected them as my payment processor, and cannot opt out of?

Um, no thank you.
I called this as a danger almost a year ago, btw:
