MKBHD is getting cancelled over $12/month wallpaper app, ad overload, and excessive permissions - Lemmy.zip

> MKBHD launched the Panels Wallpapers (just called Panels on Android) app this week. The YouTuber personally curates high-resolution digital wallpapers from artists, but unlocking them costs $12 per month or $50 per year.

Think I’ll stick to wallpaper engine for Android, at least I can transfer wallpapers from my PC and only ever paid like $5

Okay, genuine question: why pay for an app like that at all when you can make any image your wallpaper for free? I mean, I like mine:

Spoiler

Because Wallpaper Engine lets you do a hell of a lot more than just static images. It's exactly what it says on the tin. A software engine that you can set as a wallpaper. Think video wallpapers, touch effects, audio responsiveness, or straight up fully rendered 3D environments *

* I have no idea how much of this actually works on Android. I've only used it on PC

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Okay, that’s pretty sick. Looks way cooler than MKBHD’s thing, sounds like that only does static images.
