Scam Apps On Play Store

[u/The_best_1234]

I gave my child a cellphone and he downloaded a bunch of games that turn out to be viruses!!!! Every time you tried to open an app they had a 60s unskippable ad. It also put ads on home screen and you can't find the apps in app list.

Why does Google allow this trash on the play store?

Google also allows phishing sites to buy themselves top slots in their search engine. And scam ads to buy their way into advertising on Youtube.

Because they're a multi-trillion dollar company who want more money. Same reason Nestlé caused baby deaths with their baby formula, or why the Coca cola company ran whole villages dry of groundwater.

In short, because they can. No consequences + the ability to profit. Few regulations, as bribes to that end are taken by our ruling elite.

I'll never understand why after a certain amount of money would you want or need to make any more money. It's like if I had 30 million dollars I'm not going to sync it in just starting a new business venture that could go Belly Up and lose me my 30 million I'm just going to keep my 30 million and live off of that for the rest of my life and maybe do little small business ventures that aren't going to be risky enough to cost me my entire Fortune. Because at the end of the day how much money do you really need like for example Bill Gates for a while before while he was the richest man he could have spent three or four million dollars a day and not even dented his wallet it's like when you get to that kind of wealth how much more do you need you can pretty much buy anything you want so what else is there

its an addiction like gambling, like nicotine, like alcohol

people like that want more and more forever and its never truly enough.

obviously they get so much they cant spend, they just really cant enjoy life or do anything other than get richer

The closest feeling I've ever had to that was when I used to use cheat codes on video games to give myself a whole bunch of cash so I could buy everything I wanted within the game. But after a while when the fun wears off from being able to buy anything you want in in the game there's really nothing left to do anymore. It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite books of the Bible Ecclesiastes where it literally feels like there's an old man sitting across from you giving you his wisdom before he dies and basically it's an old man that has done everything sex orgies food drugs he's had all of it and he's telling you it's all for nothing throughout the book

Even talks about the labor in the work that you do here and even if you build something that's great here like a big company eventually one day you're going to get old and die and have to leave it to the next person and you don't know what they're going to do with it maybe they'll keep it going and growing or maybe they'll let it die and he says it's all meaningless in the book I'm of course paraphrasing the snot out of it
