Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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

wallhaven.CC Free, automatically sizes the wallpaper for your device. No ads

Can't the OSs resize the image by itself? IIRC Windows 9x could already do that.

😅 Sorry, my intention was to compare the value compared to the value of a Panels subscription
