Lock screen and ads (discuss.tchncs.de)

This link about Glance made me think about this.

Majority of folks here might not be aware of this company. Their software usually ships on low end phones mainly in the Indian/South Asian market. They do seemed to have pivoted to the US as well but I am not sure if overseas models also see this scourge. As of right now, if one's phone has this, they will basically see a new glorified wallpaper with news/text each time they unlock their phone. And if you read the article, they wish to go even furthur. It can technically be switched off though often it's buried deeper than Dante' s last layer of hell.

Do overseas(read:other Asian markets/European/American and so on) also have any local equivalent to this scourge from my country? Are ads plastered on lock screens on entry level phones common anywhere else in the Android world?

Yep, this exactly.

I have a Moto G55 because they are one of the fewer out there with a LCD screen (i wanted a phone that was not prone to static images, such as navigation on highest brightness for many hours a week and i really, really don't like Oled ghosting/black smearing). But sadly, due to bugs and bloatware, Motorola is a no-go.

Such a shame... the G2 was probably the phone i loved most of all i had over the years.
