I wish the play store would just let me filter based on app intrusiveness. Let me find things that don't use ads, don't have in-app purchases, and don't collect data. Looking at "paid" apps is NOT equivalent. Then I can maybe read reviews and get what I want. Once the quality bar has been raised I don't have any problem paying a few bucks (or more) for an app that behaves the way I want.

Hell, some paid apps have ads which drives me insane.

It's been a while since I've seen that but would drive me crazy too. I would immediately get a refund for it and review it appropriately.
