Marques Brownlee says he’s working to dial back the ads.

This blew up pretty fast and hard. MKBHD released a wallpaper app that asks for a ton of data and only allows you to download 1080p wallpapers unless you pay $50.

    They did option 1. The big app stores require that disclosure these days.

    Problem is, people were surprised that a stupid wallpaper app from a know person / brand had ads and ad tracking like scam mobile game.

      Brownlee says these data disclosures are “likely too broad” and that “we’d never actually actually ask for your location, internet history, etc.”

      Yes indeed then they received complaints about said disclosure and are attempting to make it out to be a mistake.
