OnlyFans doesn't have an app but they're still in business. We must educate people about not relying on apps for everything.
I would argue Patreon cannot have an app on the App Store as it would cause them to mess up their (and the users') business models... 30% is huge !!! I am baffled by why they would bend to Apple instead of upgrading their website.
