Re: Why do people use the Google Play Store search engine?

You think I'm getting a cut of $ or something simply because you don't
understand that kind-hearted intelligent people try to inform others.

 Nope.  I think you got involved in its development which made you
enthusiastic about it.  As I said, you have a vested interest.

While I got involved in Skyica development for selfish reasons (i.e., I
needed it to work WITHOUT the Google Play Store app existing), I ofen
promote Muntashirakon App Manager and I'm not "involved" in that one.
I often promote PulseSMS (the last known good version), or Nova (again, the
last known good version) or Etar, or the last known good versions of Simple
Mobile Tools, or the WhatsApp direct dialer or screensopy/soundcopy or
WebDav servers or Wi-Fi/Cellular analyzers or offline GPS routing apps,
etc.
None of those do I have any developer involvement, right?
I know you well, VanguardLH. You guess at everything. You never look
anything up. You just guess. And that's fine. But you guess wrong.
All the time.
Me? I do not guess at anything.
I don't trust my intuition in the least.
You trust your intuition with your life.
We're completely different personalities.
You shake with fear at any risk, perceived or real (since you guess).
I don't.
I take risks. You don't.
And that's OK.
Nobody says you have to learn anything.
But please stop guessing wrong. That's all I ask of you.
You guess wrongly at my motives for example.
What you're missing is that I'm an extremely intelligent person who is also
extremely kind hearted (and humble!) who *cares* that people be informed.

I don't plan on being ignorant, so when I search, I use the best engine.

 Inferring others are idiots that ask you questions or disagree with you
will not engender the audience you want.

I've never begged my audience to like me. I only wish to teach them. Or, as the case may be, to *learn* from them (like from Andy Burns).
Andy turned me on to Marcel's NetGuard, for example, and I've been
promoting Marcel's FairEmail also on this newsgroup for many years.
I have no involvement in their "App Development" (although I tested
Marcel's FairEmail on XDA when Google temporarily forced 2FA upon him).
Marcel eventually left XDA in disgust because he was smarter than anyone on
there, which is kind of how I feel on this newsgroup when people tell me
that they actually want to remain ignorant and that they never want to find
a better way to do things. It's kind of the antithesis of what I am.
Which is why I constantly inform people on this newsgroup of the best apps
on the planet, only one of which is the Skyica App Finder.
Your "guess" that I'm invested in all these apps, is patently absurd.
Anyway, if you're not going to try the Skyica App Finder (which is because
you're deathly afraid of even the slightest of risk) that's fine. But don't 'diss what you're obviously completely ignorant of.
Just accept that people who know more than you do about it, promote it.
For the good of the people here - not for their own profit.
(Your guess at my motives is seriously patently ridiculously absurd.)
You may as well accuse me of secretly being a Russian KGB spy.
Ooops. :)
