False advertising

I'm trying to understand why Google allows people to advertise something that is a complete lie I've been playing a game that was advertised to pay and I haven't received anything and I've wasted hours and hours doing it I'm in the worst shape of my life financially and for Google to prey on that it's ridiculous and I am going to sue

As you've discovered, NOBODY is paying you big money just to play games or watch videos. Feel free to play those games if you find them fun (some people do) but do not play them expecting to ever get paid.

Report the app to Google using this process:

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2853570

That way, Google becomes aware of them and can work on taking them down.

There are, literally, millions of apps available in the Google Play Store and an estimated 100,000 new apps are added every month. Google tries to find the bad ones and remove them but they can't catch them all.

As laid out in the terms of service:

So basically, Google already know the apps are false advertising, and misleading Google subscribers, for the sole purpose of getting personal information and doing God knows what with it...but won't proactively remove them??? I'm sure Google has a reason for not , but I not sure what it is. I have an idea... but .....

Hey byteguy, thanks for all of the info you post. And most of all thanks for responding to the posts. That is rare these days. However, your tone has a "byte" to it. No pun intended.. ☺️

Why is that?
