The brouhaha doesn't really have to do with the negative reviews he's dished out over the years, but rather the brazenly low-effort cash grab nature of what he put out. A wallpaper app in 2024 has me harkening back to '06 when Verizon would sell ringtones for 3 bucks a pop.
- redserk 2y agoThe last sentence reads as rather entitled. Photography and art do take skill and effort. Artists should be compensated instead of random internet commenters demanding free pretty pictures. …that said. $50/yr with 50% margins going to running the app sounds unfair and crazy. I’d be much more comfortable if more of the slice of dough went to the artists.
- rchaud 2y agoSure, artists deserve to be paid. They won't get much out of whatever this mess is because Marques takes 50%, and that's after the app stores take their 30% cut.
