    Not only that, it’s outright against the rules to “market” on the playstore as ad-free

      That’s why it’s better to download as many apps as possible from F-Droid. All apps are Free Open Source and checked for anti-features (like ads, tracking, etc.). Lots of basic (and not so basic) apps which are ad free, tracker-free and free to advertise that way.

      Really? I shouldn’t be surprised but that’s depressing. I’m happy to pay for good apps mind
