I honestly think mobile ads in free games and other apps are some of the lowest quality piles of garbage I’ve ever had the misfortune to see, and they are constant. How did we get to this point? Where they are so horribly unbearable and yet so commonplace?
Every game I’ve used utilizing the play framework detects if the ad was served. They will not grant the reward or complete the action. Unless there is a tool that fakes the response from Google’s ad network the game action will fail. I’m guessing you are just talking about not getting ads, which yes, is easy and trivial.
Blocking ads is specifically what @EleventhHour@lemmy.world mentioned in their post, so yes, that’s what they’re talking about.
You are correct that freemium ad rewards typically don’t function if you prevent the ad content from loading. That’s a small subset of mobile ads that wasn’t brought up prior though. I believe the downvotes are largely a combination of your attitude when replying and your misidentification of the topic at hand.
