They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.
This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?
I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.

Ads in any kind of app store search should SUPER NOT BE ALLOWED. Microsoft does it, Google does it, even the Apple app store has it. I don't want my grandma to be looking for her bank app and download Fast Cash Transfer Free 2024 Edition instead

What options do I have to stop this shit?
