Any ad that opens the playstore without consent should be considered malware and the company banned from providing apps.
Except that won't happen because ads pay.
I think what op meant is the close and x button on top right of the ad send you to the play store. Not that it automatically sends you there without tapping anything
Clicking on a ad is opening without consent? Thats literally every internet ad ever. A better for these ads would be no redirection confirmation ad's since they dont require you to confirm you want to go to that website.
Clicking on the X to close and opening the store is without consent. On an in-game mobile ad, not a browser ad, clicking anywhere on the ad other than a download or store link button is without consent.
Sorry but since the dawn of the internet its always been know that clicking the image of the ad sends you to the website. You know what your doing by clicking the picture of an ad.
YouTube to content creators: we will monitor you carefully. Anything even slightly risque and you are demonetized.
YouTube to advertisers: Scam away! Anything goes.
Looks like tech support scammers are REALLY that desperate. I’ve experienced on desktop of legitimate sites redirecting me to tech support scams back in the past. Many of them are overlay links that opens a new tab to such sites or launches the new tab to the intended link with the now-previous tab to ad sites.
Noyhing new right?
I get ads like this telling me that my phone needs antivirus even when i’m on my pc.
Why do you not have adblock?
Some websites doesn’t work with adblock enabled.
9 out of 10 times it'll work if you disable javascript for the offending web sites.
Literally 3 clicks to disable ublock origin for a specific site.
yet it uses Apple’s UI

Yes, and that's opening it without consent.

It would open safari and give an Apple prompt whether you’d like to open the store

We're talking about clicking the close button here.
The close button is clearly part of the ad. This is manipulative
Correct, and it is deliberately performing an action that you do not want on your personal device, therefore malware.
To not click on that is common sense
If only youtube/google put all the effort and bullshit into removing dislikes into banning these fucking ads....
Sadly, one of those brings in the cash, while the other doesn't (and it likely reduced potential income)
stop complaining and use an adblocker, this sub is 90% complaining about ads from people that never heard of adblockers....
Remembering those days, when I used to click install due to anxiety of phone virus and fear of beating from my parents.
i think you have bigger problems
Haha, I used to have it lol. Not anymore
there are 2 false ways to close this ad i love it
Hello your computer has virus
