> I thought it's 50% like Twitch.

it's not the best comparison imo. For twitch's own gifting system(Bits), streamers get 100% of the bits when streamers cash out(100bit = $1 but when purchasing it, 100bit costs ~$1.3). the 50/50 split for the subscriptions(when a viewer subscribe to a streamer - 3 tiers, the cheapest being $4.99, and streamers would get half of that)

lol, what an ingeniously evil way to steal tips: invent your own currency (so you have a monopoly) and then keep a huge spread between the buy and sell prices. If restaurant owners could figure out a way to do this, they would.

Ugh, how long until those tip screens start offering “gamification” like this?

So they take roughly 30% of the bit value, and I believe bits cost more if purchased from their app to offset the Apple tax, meaning in comparison they'd take roughly 60% in a comparative setting. Slightly better as you can avoid the mobile store's chunk, but still an apt comparison.
