Google play went from being a cool place to upload hobbyist projects to a Real Business Platform.

You now need a business address and a bunch of other documents for apps that will probably lose money.

Google has also decided they really don’t like users installing apps outside the Play Store. Today it’s a bunch of scary warnings, soon it’s a convoluted process to enable all installs and eventually they probably just ban it all together.

Literally nothing about Android is worth while to me now. iPhones are more stable , easier to use and have vastly better end user support.

The App Store is also a living hell for developers. They will look for any excuse to deny you an account and later reject your app.

Dare I say programming isn’t as fun anymore. I guess I can still build WebGL games. Best not speak too loudly, Apple and Google might go after that next
