Has popular youtuber MKBHD made his first misstep by pricing his new wallpapers app at $49.99/year? People are starting to turn on him.

Been seeing the backlash this whole week :russ:


How does someone receive backlash from this, whatever happened to just not buying it and moving on.
Populace tired of corpos basically insulting them with pricing for mid products, at some point shame needs to be an equating factor for business again. Can't just let you slither off and die people need to warn about your shyt product

Trust.

Charging $50 for a wallpaper shows that you are a grifter. We know that they exist but it will obviously cause some push back when someone who is trusted exposes themselves as one.

I get not liking the price gouging but why turn? Just don't buy it. He also put out a couple ugly ass shoes. I'm not about to cry bout em. I wouldn't buy them.

and

the pure hypocrisy of it. He said it himself on that "golden rule" tweet. :francis:
He's in the tech field and this interview was done before Elon went full retard. Let's not start lumping on the fake retroactive outrage now :aicmon:

As it is this very website called dude a c00n just for who he dates so it's not like this app is what is turning people off from him here. They been hating

All YouTubers by nature are grifters.

If it was a needed or heavily anticipated product I’d understand. It’s a digital wallpaper that nobody is going to buy

He’s an Apple Glazer and defends their bullshyt and outright lies.

If he spoke the truth about these products and companies they wouldn’t invite him to their events.

Breh is already a multi millionaire and he’s charging $50 for a wallpaper :mjlol:

I guarantee you he did absolutely no work and the company just slapped his name on it and made him an ambassador who receives a cut.

You forgot about NFT's

Breh...I tried to fall for the NFT shyt when I bought my Nothing Phone and a "art avatar" on Reddit. A spell later, the Nothing execs basically said the NFT was worthless, and I wasted 5 dollars on a Reddit skin :why: . Breh trying to get a investment in these dire times stinks.

The coli love this goofy ass lame.


Mafukkas was mad as fukk in a thread where I mentioned how white boy like and lame that nikka is. :dead:

nikkas talking about this is first mistake like he didn't also get heat for being an Elon Musk Stan and probably still is but hides it behind Tesla love (him going exclusively to bluesky would be a big move), black staff being non-existent at his company, him refusing to comment on BLM and police brutality until he was basically forced to.

Even with all that being said, I don't hate bro at all or think he's undeserving of his success. It's not even just him trying to be white. It's more like Mark Zuckerberg type shyt; weirdly artificial
