Apple to crush creation, again

Thom Holwerda on the 30% fee Patreon is going to be forced to pay to Apple when users want to donate to creators on iOS:

Remember that ad Apple made where it crushed a bunch of priceless instruments and art supplies into an iPad – the ad it had to pull and apologise for because creators, artists, writers, and so on thought it was tasteless and dystopian?

Who knew that ad was literal.
