50/50 split still is greedier than most companies that host others content. The split should be at most 30/70 with the 70 going to the artists that actually don’t use AI theft machines to “enhance” their “content” seeing as AI generated images and products aren’t able to be copyrighted at all similar to the infamous photo of a monkey that stole a camera and took a selfie.

You should add a 'tip the artist' option, so if a user downloads an image for free, but appreciates the artist, they can just tip the artist whatever price they think is fair. I think this would go down much better than paying $4+ for a collection(s). A lot of people will happily tip an artist if they love the free background on their device.

[@kerylmcjohnson9537]

This is actually great!

[@kyonru]

Wouldn't that just go to the artist socials and support them on the best way the artist chooses? Tipping in an app means 30% for apple, and I don't think you wan't to tip apple lol

[@tiduszk]

In addition to just a tip button, add a checkbox for the user to cover the operating costs and transaction fees so they can decide if the artist gets the full tip, or if those fees get deducted from the tip.

Probably because you are building something you are going to be bias and you don’t see the flows but he is reviewing the app and he isn’t involved in the app development he wouldn’t have been very nice , this is happen quite often between developers ,when you write a peace of code you have to ask someone else to review those code because you might not see the issue because you are naturally bias ,so his biggest mistake before releasing the app was to not let other people that are not yes men try the app and give an honest opinion about the app ,that would have solved a lot of these issues .

At the core, building a product is iterative. Mistakes and solutions is the very essence of that process. It is just not all entrepreneurs that face an immediate exposure to 19.5 million followers. Getting exact honest user feedback is normally hard and attained in small doses. Marques got the whole load from the get go. This allowed mistakes to be adjusted fast. Which is a good thing.

[@sbeen434]

Also pricing is super difficult. Y combinator suggest starting with a high price, in order to scope the intensity of the problem that the product solves. So in essence it was right to start high, and then adjust.
