Meta will take 47.5% of digital content creators’ sales, but last year it said Apple’s 30% cut of in-app sales makes it difficult for creators to make money from their work.
As Meta sets up fees for metaverse creators that will take nearly half of their earnings, Apple argues that the move is hypocritical given the social network’s attacks on Apple’s 30% fee. Earlier this week, Facebook parent company Meta announced plans to extend the options available to creators for selling virtual assets in its metaverse. But the company plans to take a 25% cut of those sales, on top of the 30% cut it already takes on sales through its Meta Quest platform. In total, Meta will be taking 47.
