The real winner here is Apple and Google they get so much for almost doing nothing.

100% - $10 // 30% - $3 to Apple // 20% of 7 - $1.7 to Twitter (+inclusive of stripe fees) // 80% of 7 - $5.6 to host //

Apple and Google makes more money than the product itself. haha

> $5.6 to host

Before taxes. I'd be very surprised if the host gets even $4 afterwards.

I was under the impression that the slice going to the creator is exempt from Apple's cut. That being said, there's probably no way (with Apple's APIs) to specify what %age is going to the creator, and what % is going to fees.

Perhaps this exemption only applies when 100% of the proceeds go to the creator (as is the case with Twitter's Super Follow)
