I've tried downloading some of the games that are on the Play Store for my kids, and by God those apps are cancerous. An ad every 30 seconds and the games are made purely with getting the players to become addicted in mind. Get off your fucking high horse Pichai.
Fun fact: You can sideload an adblocker that will legit block any ads in apps.
It's called Blokada 5, and you have to download it from their website and sideload it because Google banned apps that use its functionality from the Play store.
So satisfying never seeing ads in apps.
Thanks for the tip!
