    Fuck closed off mobile stores, it’s all a scam.

    Why are we ceding control over our personal computers to organizations who would limit our use of them?

    If we have platforms capable of running arbitrary code then we should be able to do it.

      This is exactly it. It feels like about 99% of the crap these companies are pushing has no reason to be an app. Patreon is already primarily a web page. I guarantee you everything anyone cares about in the app you can do on the mobile version of the web page. Without being locked to the App Store/Google Play, and on (practically) any device. Isn’t that what these companies should want in the first place? Totally device and platform agnostic, ready for the maximum amount of suckers potential paying customers to be able to access it?
