Twitter VS MKBHD (Panels)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2024
- MKBHD just launched his new app Panels and people on Twitter are not happy! They say that his subscription is too expensive and his app design is horrible! MKBHD has not responded to this criticism about Panels yet. MKBHD launched his Panels app in a video about the iPhone 16. MKBHD said people always ask where he gets his wallpapers, so that's why he launched the Panels app.
W or L MKBHD with Panels?

I can’t believe he landed in hot water. Unbelievable. Also weird how he did not anticipate that people would be pissed considering how many times he’s covered pricing ladders and subscriptions.
Very true. Plus, from what I’ve seen the app itself (design wise) is very poor. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, I was particularly looking for tweets about this but was too lazy to go on X. I’ve subscribed :)
@@fadibadrahan4638 No problem! also thanks, expect more videos as drama happened lol
it was always about money
remember his iphone durability testing lab video?
I don't get it, he interviewed obama for no reason other than being black, he was always weird, its just for the first time he has done something blatantly bad
Fun fact: Someone DID write a script to download all the wallpapers already

Golden rule #1 of the internet: Never try to charge for something that was already free.
Wonder where that came from...
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Marques quoted this, btw
@@P._diddy_disciple no his golden rule should be that he should have remained an advertiser than people will mindlessly listen to rather than doing something like this
This doesn't apply to just the internet
I thought i made that up
Never pay for something someone already gets for free somewhere
But i said that with regards to software piracy😂
Dang i feel unoriginal
Twitter has free 4k wallpapers I’m good
Dude
The internet has that for free
All u need to do is right click and save as wallpaper 😂😂😂 what are these content creators smoking 😂
ong. these mfs are greedy asf 😭
$1 per month would be fine, you're just selling wallpapers, but $12 per month is insane.
i was actually thinking if it was a buck a month I might actually cop cuz i like to change my wallpapers a lot. 12??? bruh thats insane
So you want him to not pay artists a dime and overwork them?
What about an artist?
I think he was scared of people paying 1$ for a month and bulk download a bunch of wallpapers.. then come back next year or in a few months and get another 1 month subscription and bulk download any new wallpapers that came out since they last had premium
It would objectively make a better app and give it more popularity @@JokeJunction_haha
When he started selliing overpriced sneakers was the first sign of a red flag. Now he just waved a crimson one.
Come on dude, atleast his sneakers are easily available rather than Jordans reselling for houses.
honestly, the sneakers being expensive made sense. it was a brand collaboration, and lowkey kind of neat
@@sahilr2402are the only sneakers on Earth Jordans and MKBHDs? Of course they’re available - cuz no one’s buying them.
The sneakers weren't that expensive for what you got. They're decent quality, hence why people nevet got mad at him for the sneakers (but immediately got mad about this wallpaper app).
@@revirdkcalbThe quality of the shoes is not really good
If Panels had a one time charge like Backdrops or Vellum - it would do numbers. Subscription models have killed everything.
ya i even paid for Vellum and shit im broke lol

Every you-tuber downfall began 2024 edition

No he didn't go up. I'm sure Nick cut his lifespan by 20 years from his "social experiment"
His weight held them up
i could pay $50 for a one time payment of wallpapers if most the money went to the artist and it was constantly updated. this current model is insane
Then that money also goes to AI artists on the app lol.
@@kiattim2100 some may be ai, but there is definitely some real pictures that are stunning.
Splitting profits 50/50 when you act like a middle man between creator and user is what makes me feel bad about that product
It's not that bad if you think the amount of people he's bringing to the creators, who most would otherwise never get even 10% of the amount of traffic. It's a risk and he literally put his reputation in play and we see how it backfired. He literally is taking all the blame, while the creators are "save" even though they would be taking half of that $50 per year subscription. So, the 50/50 is not even thst bad.
But he is - he’s giving eyeballs and downloads to the artists. Like, that’s a whole business in itself, that’s ads. Literally, that’s why businesses pay influencers, because influencers are the ‘middlemen’ - they bring the attention. I understand what you’re saying, but he is actually a middleman. Those artists are making way more money because they now have tons of eyeballs.
Exactly what I was thinking
his golden rule should be that he should have remained an advertiser than people will mindlessly listen to rather than doing something like this
He's giving exposure,and bearing server costs too. And 50/50 is fair enough. Artists already get paid enough
The MKBHD situation is crazy 💀
Average Charlie YT Titles
MKBHD deserves the fuck he’s been getting, he’s no longer the authentic young charismatic person he used to be. He’s a sell out.
How'd bs audience came here lol
I worked for MKBHD, hes a fraud.
@XeVierTech but you worked for him , and he paid you, why your calling him fraud
12 dollars per month, when half of them wallpapers are probably made actually by AI, hundreds of wallpapers in seconds.
You have zero proof of that!
@TheChazas and the other half are of Tim Fraud Cook and iPhones.

4 dollars
@@bobweiram6321 i don't know if it's half but quite a bit of them have the AI warning right before you use them, for a paid app that "supports creators" they shouldn't have AI made stuff in the app

He’s smart he’s just out of touch. He’s been on RUclips since he was 13-14 and he’s been on top of the TECH world for like 8 years. He can’t feel any price tag without a comma on it so he doesn’t remember what a reasonable price tag looks like for a regular Joe, like ourselves.

Lol actually he saw pounds, and thought they were euros, ironic that you got that wrong
That monthly subscription seems to be predatory as many are on the App Store, not actually a realistic price but hoping that people will sign up for the free trial and forget about it…
Also, why would you need a wallpaper app? Just download a picture and set it as wallpaper?! Am I going insane?
If you want to support a specific artist and pay like $1, I don’t see the issue with doing that. But a subscription model is crazy for $12

@@e.s.y3899 I mean I get that, buying art is a different thing, but a whole app just for wallpapers seems kinda weird.

The subscription economy in general is one of the most dystopian things I've ever heard of. Not to go all AJ, but the World Economic Forum's blatantly stated "you will own nothing, and you will be happy," describing a utopia where everything you own is on a subscription basis.
I realize subscriptions make more cash than a single purchase, in volume anyway, but I mean JFC- where does this end? What amount of soul stifling, suffocating, unnatural commoditization of the human life will finally be perceived as "too far?"
Okay the orange wallpaper had me rolling lmfao
Wait!? He's promoting a wallpaper subscription app in the year 2024? Have we gone that far back in time? Sorry MKBHD, but I will continue to use my favorite commissioned waifu wallpapers and credit the artist directly. No middle man. We ain't having an arbiter like you taking 50% cuts for literally slapping your face on a product for publicity and marketing. Doing absolutely nothing. Especially during a time where cost of living is at its' worst! Yes, I will be straying away from this app.
I would stick with the tech reviews since we can watch those without a subscription. 🙏
Well said.
I already have wallpaper engine, there's already a mobile app with it where I can import the wallpapers I have on my pc, I dont need this lul
You arguments are just hate filled drivel. Get a life.
@@herrforehead3745 So true lol.
This
MKBHD is on some Unbox Therapy energy
Low privacy report because probably the app was developed by app builders. A cheap alternative to hiring a dev. To maximize them profits for sure.
Golden rule #1 of the internet: Never charge for something that was already free
No one is talking about how it’s allegedly a reskinned crypto grift 💀
the wallpapers are expensive but clue me in on how its a cryptocurrency
Went from MKBHD to MKB3GP
He roasts other peoples subscription models, which is great, but how the hell didn't he expect to receive backlash for his own crap subscription?

Oh boy the dude is having his worst day
I started being skeptical when he posted that video about best gadgets or something a year ago when all of the products in the video were all sponsors LOL!

Natives ones are the best
People are paying for wallpapers... Wtf... 😂😂
A whole game like minecraft is here costing 25 to 30usd, and an app for average wallpapers is 50usd, this is just unreasonable
Is it a coincidence that after nicocado told us that he's 2 steps ahead almost everyone else fell down from grace... I DONT THINK SO!
The roles have reversed
He's not 2 steps ahead.
Yes it is a coincidence
So bro was actually 4 steps ahead in the yt game interesting.
My ad block skipped that whole segment of that video, so thank you for making a video on the matter 👍
I used to watch all of MKBHD videos then I realized he's out of touch he complains about things that 9-5 people don't complain about like the weight distribution on a phone? The fact that camera bumps are getting bigger? Like WTF what kind of softie is he . He's been out of touch for a while now and people are just noticing. He started his electric car review channel when HE'S NOT A CAR GUY!!!!!! He doesn't live in the same world the rest of us do. I feel awful for fisker he made a horrible review for their car when some people actually find it nice.
for some reason every video of his gets 100s of thousands of views, I wonder why?
Such a bad price and also 50/50 split with artist? ARE YOU KIDDING? It should be 90/10 for artist and people would like to support THE ARTIST. It's just insane.
He knows his audience. He knows they can't change the wallpaper so he created the app so he can profit from them.
Seems like ppl just want to jump on hating mkbhd
Yup, they got an excuse he should be wary.
Overpriced images 🗿
Marques is worst than Diddy for releasing a wall paper app? WTF? Is this the twilight zone? Come on America!
Yea lol. I get that it is overpriced, but all this hate for a stupid wallpaper app. I feel like this happened cause there is already a lot of drama going on with other RUclipsrs, so people just want to hate on anything they can lol.
I mean it was bound to happen

thanks for watching!
@@Chucky2475 ikr Google has millions just like his, nobody gives a rats ass about his crap
The reason why I still vehemently dislike NKBHD is because he's a shill. The fact that people are dogging on him for an app that isn't even anything new in regards to mobile wallpaper apps is just ridiculous.
Like are people even thinking at this point?
They call him the critic, but he is the most passive when it comes to large corporations.

LMAO, this isn’t is his lifelong creation or anything. it's merely a sidequest. i mean, it's not like he's made an ENTIRE video dedicated to convincing people to get the damn app. don't like it? DON'T DOWNLOAD IT. simple as that. he's still MKBHD, nothing's changed. i'm still going to watch his videos.
@@keynotepablo3524 i agree! Thats why i highlighted a tweet similar in this video. I just wanted to highlight some of the most popular responses about his app launch on twitter. Thanks for watching :)
@@TrustedTexan LOL it’s just absurd to see people say “HIS CAREER IS OVER”. acting as if he was involved in the diddy scandal or something worth “cancelling” him over. he’ll be fine. people will forget about it, and the app lol.
personally, i think those echoing that sentiment are just haters who have been praying on his downfall. they “finally got him”!! bunch of losers
exactly! also, it's a darn WALLPAPER app, not such a big deal lmao
“He’s still MKBHD” he’s doing everything he’s been shaming other companies for for years. It’s hypocritical and a grift
@@yabawkwardIt comes across as hypocritical because he is doing the same things he has criticised companies for.
Most of the wallpapers are not even good. There is a wallpaper simply called "Orange", which is just an orange photo.
"2 steps behind, i am always 2 steps behind"
Just shows how fast people will turn on creators now 💀
I mean he is charging a $50 yearly subscription for a wallpaper app. That’s insane.
@@A_Nameless_Ghoul3301yes and he pays artists.bpeople are suggesting that the app cost 12 dollars a year. How would artist get a dime.
People are waking up and are tired of their favorite content creators trying to rip them off repeatedly.
I've never really had loyalty to any content creator. I don't get sucked into that parasocial stuff. So in a way I'm almost like a psychopath. I just don't see them as people. They're providing media entertainment. And the moment they're not doing their job then I go to another person.
That's the fun thing about competition is that it encourages the highest quality content (and good decisions) to rise above.
In a lot of ways, I'm loyal to good products and services, but I'm not loyal to a business (just because).
---
It's also kinda like the average American job. These creators don't care about the customers. They're not gonna loan you money or dig your car out of the snow if you get stuck. All they care about is money. And as a customer, all I should care about is the product or service. No reason for it to ever be personal. It's just business.
This isn’t the first time he tried to scam his fans, and frankly, a lot of these guys get away with too much.
He doesn't shit on products. To reduce his reviews to "shit on" is low-key insane.
MKBHD is now on the apple way. Even when he review something, he always favor apple. I don't watch him anymore
Nah, it's probably a scammer who got into him this is an anomaly the guy is already rich why would he need more money for?
Dude literally said don't buy an unfinished product in his video. Am I not getting something?
@@stellviahohenheimso is he stupid enough to not review the app himself before launch ?
Who got angry, Panels is way better than X. I hate X for it’s none restrictive sexual content.
One good thing I can say about Panels is that it doesn't have AI art. I think AI made real art more valuable, because people will be willing to pay more for human-created art and photography.
Clearly not lol
@@Xgil2Play Sorry, apparently I was mistaken. But it's clearly marked as ""AI enhanced".
Sadly you assumed wrong. They will absolutely take AI generated images. As said by MKBSD
MKBHD: "We hear you"
Me: I know, that´s why you ask for an ungodly amount of permissions
please every one should stop hating, if you don't have the money then don't download it, let leave it there. This year have been a rollercoaster in youtube with the KSI, Logan and Jimmy no one should drag MKBHD please. AND NO HATE DON'T DRAG ME PLEASE , I AM LITRALLY BEGGINING.
It’s actually worse than it sounds. On a per-product transaction 50/50 is near criminal but scales enough for the artist. Say it costs 10, they get 5, sell 10 and they get 50, good stuff. Now when it comes to subscription, they are only going to share half of that, except with the entirety of the artists. So while they walk away with the 25$ every time, the other 25$ will be split between more and more artists. The he single prices are likely structured to push people to the subscription. This app is dead in the water. I work in SaaS and this is a dead product before it began.
Bro my wallpaper is iOS default, its perfectly fine 🤣
I guess the same people who pay for onlyfans when porn is free would also pay for a wallpaper.
I can't fathom PAYING for a pic for my phones home screen...
Time to pirate Panels then
already happened, github mkbsd
Curious, if it wasn’t MKBHD would people try and bring him down so quickly? His reviews are pretty straight to the point and aren’t pandering
it costs that much bc he pays the artists. you don’t have to buy it, there are plenty of free wallpapers out there. and you’re more than welcome to make your own 🤷♂️
Bingo!
Agreed ,That doesn't explain why he went against his advice " don't buy a product based on the future promises " Tho @@anthonygeraci7391
I'm pretty sure that artists only get 50% of the revenue
He explicitly said he splits the profit 50-50… He keeps 50% and shares only 50% with the artists, which is insane..
This is what happens when you get popular and rich. He’s out of touch with his audience.
Plus alot of them look like AI generted
BTW, excellent work on the voice acting. Gives more soul to it. Highlight: 8:46
While I agree on the points on privacy, app not aligning with the MKBHD image and the pricing being high, as well as the right to provide whatever feedback one wishes to, many people seem to have an attitude of entitlement when complaining about the price. As many others have said, there is no one forcing anyone to use the app. MKBHD doesn't OWE anyone a low cost or completely free wallpaper app.
Since when did we start to pay for pictures you can download FOR FREE from internet?
I don’t understand these people. No one makes you pay for it. Is it the first ad that you see? And this video is kinda pointless by the way. I expected author to say something not just reading comments. We can read too.
No one makes you pay for it. It's just not for you. But when it ultimately fails, the blame falls to the consumers and not to the developers. We should absolutely keep these studios in check and call them out for bad business practices.
Also, these types of videos are convenient because many people are too busy to look through different comment sections, and would prefer to listen to it.
@@Timosha__ the point is that another "trustworthy" creator has just made yet another SCAM that he's trying to peddle. Nobody's gonna buy it. But the audacity to try and ripoff your viewer base is the issue.
Clear proof that its so much easier to talk about other products than create something good on your own
$ 1.00 a week . OMG !! Whatever will we do ? 😵💫
but why not offer a subscription that is 1$ a week? is it because they know nobody will stay for 50 weeks?
dividing it into smaller timeframes makes it seem cheaper but remember this is for the rest of your time using the app. thats like dsaying its 0.15$ per day
What pissed people was the subscription. This would be a different story if they just release this app without subscription, free wallpapers, and ads on the app to pay developers and creators.
Wallpaper app as a subscription lol wtf , ever heard iof AI generated wallpapers
Or browsers save as image or you know free websites which you can download wallpapers or google images which scrape those other wallpaper websites.
Crazy how this is the first time he's ever been under controversy
It’s free with ads 🤷🏽♂️ and clearly he said it’s to support the app for new things coming in the future. YOU DONT HAVE TO SUPPORT IT. 50 a year is literally nothing how many subscription do you have? Most people pay 2-3 hundred a month and don’t even know it…
Most don’t pay hundreds a month for subscriptions. Moreover, many would argue that most subscriptions offer more value than wallpapers, at least on the surface
@@ayoomisope6563 C&R research suggests that the average American pays 220 dollars a month on subscriptions. The app is free and I don’t understand why people are hurt about an app that didn’t exist so why even care just don’t download it. If you want to hate then just say so 🤷🏽♂️
Rare instance that Twitter actually critized these channel that used to be "cancelled"
People just want to rage for the sake of raging
bro glazing him in the comments 😭
This is beautiful, its about time snobby tech critics put their money where their mouth is and end up humbled by the complexity
When Mkbhd said that quote “you either die young by being a hero or you live long and become a villain”. Now I understand lol
Love that they are supporting artists!!
$50 per year or $12 per month for phone wallpapers. WALLPAPERS! I guess you could watch an ad or two for the free version. FOR WALLPAPERS! MKBHD was either so self assured this was a great idea and no one told him "No" or he signed off on this for the "easy" money. Not sure which one is worse.
I am calling him MKBSD now, I am afraid to call him MKBHD. They might charge me $50.
Bro needs to stay in his lane. His app is total 🗑️.
For me, it's good to see that MKBHD is big enough that other channels and accounts can now ride on his reputation.
The real tragedy here is that I just listened to a 12 minute video of a guy reading twitter comments
1:39 no no Nobody asked they looked most avarage Ai generated wallpaper i seen
Patiently waiting for MKBHD video responding to these responses.🍿
I actually do remember asking “Where’s that wallpaper from?” being a recurring topic under his videos… but that was around 2015-2018 😅
In his “What’s in my phone” videos he already shows that he uses “Backdrops” to get wallpapers
It’s his first shitstorm, he hold up pretty well so far. If he would make an excusing statement we would all forget about it (or it’ll get meme’d for fun) but he seems to go the fruity road and act like there’s nothing wrong.
Different topic and story but this reminds me of his bold move of just making the red triangle sweatshirt his own, though it was a random amazon sweatshirt he bought years ago and to find it on Amazon you had to type “MKBHD sweatshirt” because he popularised it 😅
The roasting he did to tech products, he got it all back in just one day 😂
The app is pretty cool, i agree that it should be 0.99 per HD wallpaper, instead of a subscription. The UI is actually pretty good, and the ability to directly support artists is cool. Simply changing the monetization strategy would be a win.
People are forgetting he launched shoes a couple years back and they were low quality with a high price.
