When I search for "Bluesky" in the IOS App Store, the first result is...Threads? Has to be a hidden paid placement, right?

The first “result” of Apple App Store searches are ads. Here’s the current search result for “gmail”. More enshittification… Apple is slowly embracing more dark patterns. Next time you get a new iPhone, look at how many “notifications” are actually ads for “3 month free trials.” 🤬

It’s not hidden, it says “Ad”

No, why assume such hidden nefariousness, … it’s probably just doing the old search function task of finding what you were really looking for, what you really need. Ok kidding. Yeah you’re probably right
