This needs more upvotes! People are missing the point.
People that are use to living in Apple controlled walled-gardens dont understand that being removed from the play store doesn't mean much.
Their apps can still be listed in alternate app stores as well as download directly and installed directly (its trivial to install an apk which has been downloaded. Things are especially easy if you have a rooted phone, which I'm assuming most HN Android users do.
That's the major proponent of using Android for me. Just like my computer I am free to modify is and install any software I want.
I'm sure if the App Store even ever approved an Ad Block app it's long gone by now. Can any iPhone users comment on this?
