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.

Ads in any kind of app store search should SUPER NOT BE ALLOWED. Microsoft does it, Google does it, even the Apple app store has it. I don't want my grandma to be looking for her bank app and download Fast Cash Transfer Free 2024 Edition instead

    Omg if you search for Barclays or NatWest you get other apps as the first result.

    What options do I have to stop this shit?
