MKBHD says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app

[Walter Panov]

Not really, sometimes the biggest dog has to growl and bark to put fear in the others. It's not about getting money from that dude that hacked him, it's about showing others the lengths you'll go to to mete out justice.

You're missing the point. The big dog would be way out of his league. MK probably hired an underqualified cac to write the code for his shitty app. The underqualified cac made an app that stores the wallpaper files in an unprotected Google Cloud storage bucket. Which means it's free for the public to access. A smart man then writes a basic script to download these wallpaper files from the public storage. MK is not smart enough to fight this one.

I downloaded the wallpapers using the script above. 378 in total. Some are cool. Many are AI-generated. Some are low-res pictures from the 1990's. Not worth a subscription or even installing the app for free. Especially when you need to pay to get the "HD" ones.

Upload them for the fam, in a rar or zip using a freehost, please. Thanks

Lmao a simple google will give you terabytes of free high def high quality wallpapers for free, this might be the dumbest idea by a smart person I've ever seen.

I think you're underestimating MKBHD and his business accruement, & as for this "underqualified cac"...I don't think so. & the point you're missing is assuming that MKBHD isn't smart enough. As his thriving business shows is that he is smart enough, & every business has a few minor set-backs and that's ok, there's always a learning curve for new forays into certain projects.

I'm not underestimating anything. I'm telling you things exactly as they are. You don't understand them.

You're too much in your head; this is only what you think that has no bearing in reality. You're really talking like you know MKBHD's whole operation and you're be advising him next week.

 

[xxironxx]

Fuck it. Let me start this $25/year ringtone app since we doing goofy shit out here

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

Are there really enough people out there willing to pay $50/yr for a wallpaper app to make it worth it? This is a self inflicted wound to his brand.

Dog, do you know how much money Americans are “wasting” every day/month/year/life?

MKBHD should round up the legal team . ...

Naw, his fan base would really go after him.

Who is the "him" that you're referring to?

Yes and no. $5 app (with his name as a selling point) and an emphasis on paying content creators their due would have probably went over better.

The same applies with the free version with ads.

I used the wrong server. The file will be here for 6 days. Then they delete it.

This is the same dude who is trying to sell sneakers

Stopped following Kev on Stage years ago for his overuse of ads, too. Dude's podcast felt like a rest haven for commercials. It was 5 minutes of content surrounded by 55 minutes of ads. "Welcome back from that ad break. Today we'll discuss this hot topic. That I can't wait to get into, right after a word from our sponsors". He was the reason I got YouTube Premium just avoid all the ads. Then what does the bitch go and do? Have 30 minutes of Ad reads baked into the podcast. I don't know if it's the church "rape them for every cent" influence, but damn he left no money on the table. Can't trust a man that can't turn down a dollar, ever.

Mothafuckas done made him a millionaire over the years now they mad he want to keep that lifestyle.

Damn

Ironically, I was just watching this earlier and he talked about it



I knew the wallpapers would be out there.

The thing is, I wouldn't qualify it as a security flaw. This is like paying someone to build you a store to sell some shoes. The store is finished but the doors are left permanently open with a sign that says "Paying for these shoes is optional". This is what they did with the app.

The app developer probably saw a ton of warnings from Google Cloud telling him "Hey, you shouldn't store these files in a public bucket" and he/ she didn't understand any of it.

Honestly, I like to support black, but I think of black people with nothing but white people around them as supporting someone white

MK is going to marry a white chick, have mixed who kids who marry white....

Much less who he employees

Does he fuck with other black content creators?

I'd rather fuck with Floss and the other black tech creators....and not the Soldier Knows Best type of creators

A wallpaper "APP"??? Maybe I am old, but who looks at a blank screen on there phone and sees Panels and thinks: "GOD in heaven, FINALLY!!!! The answers to my prayers" that this was needed? He says people are asking him all the time about his wallpapers. WHO THE FCUK ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?!?!

Yeah, you're old, because wallpaper on phones have been a thing forever as have wallpaper apps

It's individuality

Right I have a wallpaper that I downloaded from Google Images. I have had the same Dr Doom wallpaper for like 4 phones. I don't look at that wallpaper and think why can't I have something new?

Greed is undefeated. And as usual supersedes common sense.

 

[ZuluSam]

I’m really curious now that I know what the fuck is going on. How often do y’all change yawls wallpaper? Do you just wake up in the morning and think I’m feeling extra sassy this morning so let me find a wallpaper that fits my vibe? I don’t know if I’ve ever changed my wallpaper on my iPhone. But I’m really curious.

 

[CPT Callamity]

Who gives ea fuck about wallpapers for phones? In 2024?

 

[Journey]

I think the pricing was based on his name recognition alone that is the only way I can justify the thought process going into that decision making.

If he was around before social media he could have gotten away with it cause his wallpaper would be the only one in the market. There would be no other competitors. But to charge 50 bucks for an annual wallpaper prescription in 2024, he has lost his damn mind.
