+## FAQ
+
+### Q: What's the story behind this?
+
+On September 24th, 2024, well-known tech YouTuber MKBHD released Panels, a wallpaper app that:
+
+- Had insanely invasive, unjustified tracking including for location history and search history.
+- Charged artist a predatory 50% commission (even Apple takes only 30% for app purchases).
+- Forced you to watch two ads for every wallpaper that you wanted to download, and then only letting you download it in SD.
+- Gatekept all HD wallpapers behind a **fifty dollars a year subscription**.
+- Had many wallpapers that were essentially AI-generated slop or badly edited stock photos.
+
+Especially given MKBHD's previous criticism of substandard companies and products, people justifiably got upset given that this looked like a pretty blatant grift and cash-grab that is exploitative of the fan base that's trusted his editorial integrity over the past fifteen years. However, on the same day, MKBHD wrote a post doubling down on the app.
+
+### Q: Aren't you stealing from artists by running this script?
+
+MKBSD accesses publicly available media through the Panels app's own API. It doesn't do anything shady or illegal. The real problem here is Panels and MKBHD's complete inability to provide a secure platform for the artists that they're ~~exploiting~~ working with. Any other app could have avoided the issues that make MKBSD possible had it been engineered competently.
