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.

sure they do.

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

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

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

Personally, I feel. The comics tab, ability to win Pixel hardware(in supported regions), personalized game searches sound good. Others are okay.

By “new apps and great content,” do you mean new apps and great content for me to enjoy and have genuinely good experiences with, or just new apps and great content for me to buy through you?
