Ask HN: What does HN think about ads on the iOS App Store?
- scarface74 8y agoI hate them. It seems so beneath Apple.
- Nextgrid 8y agoI don't like them. In a lot of cases you search for a well-known & nice app and the ad is about an unknown knockoff. Sometimes they also advertise outright scams (like apps that promise something impossible under a "free" trial subscription which becomes very expensive past the trial, the idea being that people would uninstall the app when they realise it doesn't work but forget to cancel the subscription) or snake oil like antivirus (which is impossible to implement given how iOS app sandboxing works) or VPNs with dubious privacy policies (if they even have a policy at all).
- r_singh 8y agoI used to think Apple makes money from selling expensive hardware. Them trying to make money from me without giving an option to download another App Store seems an desperate move, very disturbing indeed.
