      50/50 split still is greedier than most companies that host others content. The split should be at most 30/70 with the 70 going to the artists that actually don’t use AI theft machines to “enhance” their “content” seeing as AI generated images and products aren’t able to be copyrighted at all similar to the infamous photo of a monkey that stole a camera and took a selfie.

    You should add a 'tip the artist' option, so if a user downloads an image for free, but appreciates the artist, they can just tip the artist whatever price they think is fair.
    I think this would go down much better than paying $4+ for a collection(s).
    A lot of people will happily tip an artist if they love the free background on their device.

    Actual incredible product management lessons to learn from this video.
    1. Failure is not bad, its how you learn
    2. Dont take constructive feedback personally, its a gift and use it to learn
    3. Users never have the context in your head when developing so you need to take more time to explain that, through UI, product marketing, whichever channel you can.

      What does that means, if it was true then the app would not have been released the way it is because he reviewed it before? If I was reviewing means that the if that never happened? Cuz if it was facts then he review it = being harsh = not have released for being this price = but that never happened because it released with insane price = then again at what point was it reviewed except just words? 'If I was reviewing' actually that kinda means he didnt, ofc not like literally at all. But im sure it was checked like obv. So this 'if I was reviewing' is just empty??

      Probably because you are building something you are going to be bias and you don’t see the flows but he is reviewing the app and he isn’t involved in the app development he wouldn’t have been very nice , this is happen quite often between developers ,when you write a peace of code you have to ask someone else to review those code because you might not see the issue because you are naturally bias ,so his biggest mistake before releasing the app was to not let other people that are not yes men try the app and give an honest opinion about the app ,that would have solved a lot of these issues .

  • @droknron
    @droknron Місяць тому +244

    Hey Marques, the reason that UA-cam uses a 55/45 split is because Video is incredibly expensive to deliver over the internet. It's also why Twitch is trying to move legacy creators from a 25/75 split to a 40/60 split to eventually a 50/50 split. They are not profitable due to video costs. It's also why they exited the South Korean market entirely (costs to ISP's for data peering).
    The problem with a Wallpaper app is .. wallpapers aren't that big, they're not costly to serve over the internet and so a 50/50 split doesn't make sense. A 20/80 split (with 80% going to the artists) makes a lot more sense for that reason. I understand why you chose 50/50 based on your experience as a UA-camr and you thought that would be fair but really this split should be more like the App Store's split (30/70) or an art dealership or an art auction where the vast majority, usually just over two thirds goes to the creator.
    That's my constructive feedback.
