I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word "this". Pretty misleading

As someone de-googing, it's not too far off in my eyes. Apps depending on GSF is a major hindrance.

It is unintentionally correct: Google Play, and its contents, is corporate malware, people should use F-Droid to get safer and free (as in freedom) apps. Neostore is a nice app to access it.

I got so fed up with Neostore mishandling updates and sending me constant notifications about it that I've uninstalled and gone with Droidify instead.
