More junk is fine. Here we are having a great discussion on the most permissive platform of all time. In spite of the amount of junk on the web, I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Sifting through "junk" is just a search and curation problem, and those problems have been solved for decades. Using multiple stores is no worse than using 15 different messaging apps, which we all seem to have no problem with, in spite of the walled garden utopian paradise imagined by some folks.
- eloisant 3y agoThe junk problem on the Play Store is not that it exists, it's that search sucks. Heck, even the "recommended" or "editor pick" are all junk apps and games. I don't understand how the 90's Google could fall this low, search was supposed to be there strong point.
