  amusing thing is that when it came out someone ripped all the wallpapers from the app and put them online for free. most of it was AI slop anyways.

    Haha yeah they were in like a Google cloud photo the app would call to to retrieve them. They were available for free the same day it released

  It had some popular YouTuber’s name on it, that’s enough for some to buy anything

  I can only imagine with his audience size what his team looks like right now. I’m sure they aren’t content with standard YT revenue and are always looking for ways to turn his massive fame into more dollars. They cover a lot of silly expensive high end shit like Rivians and Apple Vision. It’s not crazy to think that they could milk the rich fools for a buck. Believe it or not there are people who think to themselves “Hm, interesting. $50? Okay, that’s nothing, I’ll check it out.”

  It was split with the artists of said wallpapers, and was also kind of a gallery app thing.
  But hey, as a Finnish saying goes, “It isn’t the one who asks who is stupid, but the one who pays.”
