no. we shouldnt let google decide what apps are good or bad. they should just not promote them.

Interesting point of view, I think that is hard to establish a limit about how bad should be an app for being removed. Maybe malware only or if the app don’t do the intended function.

in my opinion, google should never remove an app that is just bad quality. Thats what the app's rating already exists for. if the app is promoted and if people will download it. Everything they do, makes it more difficult for independant devs, that cant follow Google's new policies which they come out with every two months.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that you are right. If an app is not malware, shouldn’t be removed. Also this could be a way for censorship.

Maybe Google could institute a better search function, like by Price/Free, Date, Category, etc. They are a Search Engine, maybe activate that on your scammy Play Store.

Best we can do is more scammy suggestions(Ads) when you use the search bar in play store. - Google

Thing is, there actually are some good basic apps out there. Things like pomodoro timers with no ads or tracking. Super basic but useful, and hard yobfind because they get buried below other ‘slick’ versions stuffed with ads and trackers.
