Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?
Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?
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.

Just go this way, and if you're fed up with the Play Store switch to Aurora Store: same apps, no ads.
And/or set up something like Obtainium for those apps you can pull directly from their source.
Gets you updates a lot faster, too
Can you link it please?
Edit: got it now and it looks great! Thanks to all those who linked.
I definitely didn't know about Aurora store until this post. Currently have it downloaded on my tablet and phone now, thanks for the great advice!

It had problems with the rate limited accounts for the last months, but I think they're fixed now. I haven't had any problem in the last weeks. If you keep getting these messages I'd recommend clearing app data and starting a new anonymous login session.
