Do you ever stumble across an app that you have to download to use to help you on a school project and they ask you for a subscription that costs $99.99 dollars a year and it seems that its the only way to access it? Though upon a deeper look, you see a corner where you see the smallest x ever or “use free version” in small font to get rid of the advertisement. They are doing this on purpose and it’s getting worse every year. This is especially bad with companies that aren’t known that well. An example of this mobile games. Most apps give you an option to watch an advertisement for 30 seconds and you get a reward for it which is fine, but nowadays many companies do advertisements after completing one level. When this advertisement is playing it is very annoying to get rid of. Most of the time you fat finger the X instead of closing it, which makes it open up the ad, which pulls you to a website or a different page. I think that this “scam” is targeted towards mobile gamers. Mobile gaming is bigger than both consoles and PC in Revenue. which means that it is the largest gaming platform. companies take advantage of how accessible mobile gaming can be and how small the screens are. which lead to people getting taken advantage of.
