I am really lately hating my android phone and the targeted ads disguised as "Article I might be interested in" in the google now section of my phone.

I'm tempted to switch to an iphone but I realize the same problems exist over there too. We need a new mobileOS....with blackjack

Psst listen up losers. There's this godly app that you could download off the web called Blockada. It can block add inside of games and apps. If you're not a masochist, you should get it.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked ads ...

The ads are so fucking bad now on Google play.

Now the top part of my search menu shows ads whenever I'm looking for apps.

The entire app store idea is based around making money. You need look no further than the two sorting options: top free and top paid which translate to with ads and without ads.

Just wait till they block sideloading and lock the bootloaders. The technological dystopia is coming.

Google play is fucked for many years now. Gone are the days of Gingerbreads, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Jelly Beans.

no ads in Aurora Store (:

That's... good. Installing an app on more devices is a nice feature.
