Bro really tried to sell his subscribers a “50$ a year” subscription to a “wallpaper” app.

Interesting points about the “app”:

  • the app has premium and free wallpapers
  • the free wallpapers are only available in sd quality and if you want hd youd have to subscribe
  • in order to unlock the sd quality you have to watch two 30 second ads.
  • theres a wallpaper called “orange” thats just the color orange

    And there’s people in the comments being like “its only $5 for my favorite wallpaper app” which I just shake my head and laugh at. What kind of idiot eats this shit up? There’s nothing better you can spend $5 than a shitty jpeg?

      Granted, it’s probably my favourite wallpaper app too and I only learned about it yesterday. It’s also my least favourite for the same reason. I’ve never used it, or any wallpaper app, or even knew they are a thing so it wins by default.

          every fucking time I swipe wrong on the cheapdroid used for work things, the $vendor crapware “GLOBAL SEARCH” shitware app permission prompt comes up

          and it’s always a bloody effortful nuisance to click no on it. I legit can’t tell if it’s rejecting the clicks, or just trying so damn hard to spin up that it’s eating all cycles. malware fucking everywhere.
