    Nice video. Its funny how he ends it with saying not clicking on the ads. Apps with in-game ads can actually click through for you, so you end up on the store page without any user input. That feels illegal.

    I have been entertaining the idea of making a video about these ads as well, in the form of what’s being advertised and what’s actually in the game. Also the claims they make in the ads should be scrutinized. I want to raise awareness for these types of ads because reporting them to Google won’t do anything and is notoriously hard (a dark pattern in itself, very convenient to Google).

    Would there be any interest in videos like this? I have a bunch of ads recorded that are questionable as fuck and it might be a very depressing journey.
