Bro really tried to sell his subscribers a “50$ a year” subscription to a “wallpaper” app.

Interesting points about the “app”:

  • the app has premium and free wallpapers
  • the free wallpapers are only available in sd quality and if you want hd youd have to subscribe
  • in order to unlock the sd quality you have to watch two 30 second ads.
  • theres a wallpaper called “orange” thats just the color orange

Way more than that.

  • requires crazy permissions like user location
  • wallpapers are in a publicly accessible s3 bucket
  • profit split for wallpaper creators is 50/50 which is worse than most app store splits
  • most of the creators actually seem to be current MKBHD employees
  • app is either built from a template or an old app that they bought
