Imagine being rich, and thinking the working class should now rent their wallpapers.

[@tren133]

Once you become rich enough for long enough, you no longer consider the working class to be people, but rather peons whose sole reason to exist is to make you even richer at any cost. Essentially will happen to anyone whose made it big, except maybe Tom from MySpace and Steve Wozniak, and that's probably because they got out of the active money making business altogether. Just look at Dave Chappelle from his Killing Them Softly days circa 2000, to the Dave Chappelle some 25 years later, super full of himself, pal around with the likes of Elon Musk, and punching down in his latest comedy routines.

We all love MKBHD... and when you step out of the KZbin Content Creator mold and into the Product Sales mold, you open yourself up to both criticism and parody. I thought this was a fair and balanced parody. Keep doing what you're doing. And of course - we all vote with our wallets. So... if MKBHD wallpapers are too pricey, we just won't buy them.

[@Mehmet-Milly]

Completely agree I feel like people are being too aggressive towards mkbhd Why all that hate?? Just don't buy the thing if you don't like it

[@THE16THPHANTOM]

why did they need location data. why would a wall paper app need your location. some devs need to be told, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[@blackline66]

What goes "UP" must "Come Down" .... Hard!!!!... Good Video Sam.

Missed opportunity to integrate Kit AI

[@DJRaverTeddy]

He's about to make the same mistake Unbox Therapy did, now they don't even show up in the algorithm! Oh well, rich people problems 😂

[@Pinhotube]

I used to love MKBHD content, but cmon, Bro is charging more than ChatGPT for mid wallpapers, with the excuse of a "split" between artists that are his employees, that for me is the worst part, idk who they though would fall for that, Must be a nice way to save a bag on salary increase if you share revenue with your employees. Meanwhile we can go to unsplash and found thousands of artists sharing great free stuff (myself included) I hope he'll learn from this, that being a creator with a "huge name" doesn't sell crap anymore, we ain't in 2014 bro.

[@HKIHNDKNSI]

shameless plug is shameless

[@Paniekzaaiertje]

And the “artists” are just the ones entering the prompt for the AI to generate the crappy images

[@ShaferHart]

more than chatgpt and WAY MORE than openapi API access. Ridiculous 😂

[@dtincworldnews8922]

MKBHD said to himself "these people are dumb enough to purchase the same phone for years, hell, let me get some of that money."

[@Wanted797]

Are funds split with the kitty?

[@pvshka]

Kitty gets the 99%

[@M3Vader]

Dudes gotta pay for that fancy camera somehow

[@eon5323]

Plus that fancy robot arm for the camera. Really got his moneys worth with that thing.

[@Ajaykumarr89]

MKBHD is actually an Apple fanboy. He reviews and hypes Apple products more than Samsung or any other brand. He mocked the camera of the Xiaomi 12S, so they stopped sending review units to him. He’s a r_a_t

[@d.j.vandermeer3832]

And he is using an Android phone just to have these users on board. The guy is smart but if you look at it with a critical eye you see what’s going on.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

No way, MKBHD is a Samsung shill, he barely reviewed the iPhone 16 series, I have never subscribed to his channel and I never will and say what you want about iJustine but she has more credibility than MKBHD and I doubt she would ever do something like MKBHD has that shitty wallpaper app.

[@Stranger18-2]

​@@Adamtendo_player_1 What's there in the iPhone 16 to review 😂

[@EricNkomo]

I'm from Zimbabwe. That's not our map but funny. Thanks for the shout out! @ 2:55

[@verokitkat7142]

$50!!!🤣🤣

[@florinG]

49$a year😆?, thanks for sharing.

[@josephfredbill]

Hilarious. Cant wait to see his response

[@alpsalish]

MKBHD is tech entertainment. I don't watch people who pretend to be serious.

[@JJFX-]

Worse... it's an influencer marketing channel disguised as tech entertainment. Literally the exact thing that Cleo girl who used to work at Vox does. I'm just glad more people are finally seeing it. I'll admit they're masters at it but if you're familiar with the industry it's obvious from a mile away.

[@xr4nchy]

@@JJFX-Finally someone said it in words, you are talking about Cleo Abram ? The vox media i see getting mentioned in theverge and waveformpodcast.

[@codewithfelix3940]

I was gonna breathe buh cant miss Sam's version for anything ❤

[@mikehawk7307]

He probably figured that people will pay premium money for over priced apple products. Then why not pay for this crap.

[@d.j.vandermeer3832]

Well that’s true. In general Apple customers will pay more for apps. I’m an Apple user and have some paid apps. But no way I will pay for a subscription.
