Google is putting the clamp on low-effort apps in the Play Store. Apps that don't offer basic functionality or quality may be removed.

Or a subscription.

I can't stand the ones that say they have a "free trial" but you can't even try the free version without providing a payment method... It's basically like the developer telling you that their app isn't any good and they're counting on you forgetting you signed up for it lol

Right? Apple does that shit too. No need to pay but we want your credit card and you can’t cancel until the day your subscription expires.

It's like the whole business model is based on hoping kids download these apps and just agree to everything without telling their parents lol I can't think of anyone else who would agree to pay $15.99 a week for an app that shows you what you'll look like when you're 80 lol
