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

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.

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.
