I know. Cheap crap is a stain.
It's not about cheap crap, it's about the predatory nature of almost all apps shown and how well-known it is that they're ethically bad.
People love convenience. And most can't be assed to get everything from ethical sources.
Just try going to a grocery store and buy tropical fruit that wasn't picked by slaves or heavily exploited farmers.
Sure, it's not impossible but it's way easier and cheaper to go for the big brands.
