alt Hacker NewsI got a prompt about trying new apps every week or something similar. The wording, the moment it prompted me were clearly designed for people to just say "ok" and then wonder how apps were installing regularly without any action. I got caught myself, disabled it but still got new app installs later. I killed the whole thing and have been free since. But definitely felt like a scam. And the apps suck.

This is exactly what I noticed and was disappointed about
They even force you to select a bunch of apps during out-of-box setup on some Motorola phones and it mandates they automatically download post-setup. You can't say "no", you straight up have to let the phone queue up and let it pull all the APKs down for a bunch of shitty preloaded games and Netflix and crap, load them in, then get to waste fifteen minutes removing them again. :\
