Honestly, they should offer an ad-free Play Store experience with Google One.

Ladies and gents, this is what you get when an industry stops innovating. Moving search bars up and down, adding endless “summary” pages, obfuscating pages behind others etc

sure they do.

Me: searches for specific app with nothing to do with social media

Google play: try Facebook, you’ll love it!

No it doesn’t; they just moved the search bar to its own dedicated page, requiring a click.

Headline should read Google forces people to interact infinitely more with their overcomplicated shitstore.

Look, I’m satiated, I don’t need to discover new apps nor great content through Google Play. Most apps are trash and I’ve never bought content through Google Play.
