  1. I'm a graphic designer, I make original wallpapers on Illustrator, which were original arts I made by hand in my sketchbook and then I digitalize. The most I've charged for wallpapers is $8, and then, usually, I sell bundles.
    Imma raise my prices, I guess.

  2. Initially, I thought the subs price for wallpapers was too high. Then I realizing that people in the US have a much higher GDP compared to Indonesia. So, spending $50 a year is probably common there. And it turns out, I was right lol

  3. The subscription fees are most probably made that way, imo, to shock people into talking about it, hence making it more prominent in as many place as possible. After that, the strategy might be to rectify any feedback he received

  4. They acting like bro killed somebody or was at diddy parties, he’s selling expensive wallpapers if you don’t like the app don’t download it simple. The is PEAK 1st world problems. RELAX

  5. I don't think this is as out of left field as you think. We're all nerds here – there's definitely overlap with the tech sector. It's not a circle or anything but it's significant.

  6. MKBHD is god damn arrogant. I find him one of the worst, and unsubscribed him first years ago.
    I saw you played Linus as one you unsubscribed – I find that funny because other than his sponsored bits I find him really good. Another one who is good is Arun (mrwhostheboss).

    But MKBHD on the other hand is so god damn arrogant ooof. He pretends like everyone from Apple to Google to Samsung must hear his ideas and implemented everything that's actually good because of his advise to them.

  7. Wallpaper Engine is only a dollar, pay once-lifetime. Can support mobile. On that you can have stylish and interactable wallpaper, and actually can support artist

    also hentai

  8. in the early 2000s he would've made a lot of money with this on Nokia 6600 and other symbian or early droids…but he missed that window by a small 20 years gap lol

  9. Dont understand why anyone would like to watch his video. His videos are either spec-sheet reading or faulty remarks. I guess his audience are normies who know nothing about tech, such that all of the information in a spec sheet are random combination of letters and numbers to them. Any useful information in his video are 3-5 min read on the product page, and take 7 mins for him to read. It literally take less time to read than watch his video for sake of knowing the product. His remarks on the products are joke. No comments on those stupid AI toys since I dont have them. However, for the product I actually have, WH1000M3, which was notoriously warm(to the point that it had old beats headphone vide), was referred as the "best headphone" at the time by him. Pretty sure he has no idea what he's talking about.

  10. First time watching your channel, I really like how your video looks (it's like sort of semi retro-ish ever-so-slightly blurry despite being 4K). Audio is great too. That's all!

  11. MKBHD gotta stop his electric car channel he's not a car guy even if they are EVs why is anyone listening to his opinion on it…. Hes😢the same guy that complains about phones being too heavy and they bother his wrist!!!!! Feel bad for fisker IMO his negative review of their Ocean car hurt that company probably put people out of work when some people might have actually enjoyed and bought the car but once again we listened and put so much weight on the words of a guy who's wrist hurts from the weight of a phone!!!!!!

  12. Eh? I saw an ad pushing that but it wasn't MK? Is this something going through the top YouTubers list?

    Ouch it's pretty much all a grift. Damn it!

  13. do people change their wallpaper so often that they would pay $50/year for this app? I almost never change mine so such an app doesn't appeal to me

  14. I get the issues and why it's interesting talking about it and I don't mean this in a rude way to you or the video but also genuinely… Who cares? There's ads, it's kinda shit, ok? I dunno, it's a wallpaper app, who cares? I'm not even going to look at it lol. Are people really this tempted to pay for it? From what I've seen they look fairly generic too, no offense to the artists or anything but I think I and many people who watch channels like this would rather have their wallpaper be of like… Their favourite superhero or whatever and not just like cool colourful blobs or whatever

  15. 8:00 they always do this. By they I mean apps that want to recommend stuff to you. They always want you to pick 3,4,5 or whatever of your favorite video games, or music artists or genres or whatever. Like you, I'm always forced in the end to pick random ones that I hate.
