Re:Facebook wants up to 30% of fan subscriptions vs Patreon’... by vntok on Thursday February 28, 2019 @02:25AM (#19269636)
Why would it be laughed out of the room?

FYI, here's the current top comment in this very thread:

> 30% is the same cut that Apple and Google take for everything that goes through their app stores, including all in-app purchases. It's the same cut that Steam takes. It's the same cut that YouTube takes for channel membership. Twitch takes an even larger cut: 50% from subscriptions. It's extremely well-established that people are comfortable with platforms taking that large of a portion.

Because a new company would have nothing to offer for that 30% that Patreon doesn't have. Facebook has an audience.
