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.

it’s drama about some media clown’s wallpaper app
Releasing something isn’t “building in public”. Thats spin.
If your ads provider says it follows your customers you either:
- Add that to your privacy policy and App Store privacy notice
- or remove the ads provider
You can’t just say “naa they might say they do, but we won’t so it’s all good right? Trust me bro”
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.
