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.

    While the price is undoubtedly an issue, I’m concerned this wasn’t higher up in the article

    Brownlee says the money from the app is split 50/50 with artists

    HALF? Like I get that people are going to sign up to get exposure, but that is a hefty premium for doing very. very little work.

      Yeah, worse than Google/Apple app store’s 30/70 split which is already a robbery.
