This had me cracking up. A friend was having an issue with their phone and was going to use mine to check their bank stuff as part of sorting it out. Went to get the app for their bank on my phone and oh my god. Two install links (the open said install when I first did it) and probably 80 of the screen is ads for completely unrelated garbage. Here's some bad games, a tv subscription, and a stock management app! Oh also I GUESS we'll also barely serve you the content you are looking for but not after thoroughly confusing you with the vast majority of your screen being covered in completely useless crap.

Literally the only thing they could do to make it worse is force me to install one of those other apps to get to the app I actually want. I guarantee they do this within the decade. Capitalism has no limits to how ridiculously profit seeking it gets. This is so ridiculous it feels like a bit but nope this is reality

Every time I go to the google app store to update my apps I get lost. Yes I use F-Droid as well for other apps.
