The opposite direction of complaining, it seems they've finally learned recently. The main reason people hate these kinds of ads is that they interrupt gameplay, and the probability of the app crashing also relatively increases, making it a bottom-tier ad experience. The kind where you watch a reward ad, are forced to jump to a page, and then when you return, your progress is discarded and you have to start over from the beginning – apparently, this has been improving recently. Ads themselves won't decrease, and I wouldn't mind if they even increased. As long as they don't force page jumps, it's a Win-Win for those who watch them. The fact that they've stopped showing timers seems like resistance from Google's side; it's a slightly negative point as it implies they're banking on accidental taps. Still, what I appreciate is that whether to jump to the download page is now completely optional. This has elevated the ad experience from the absolute worst to somewhere in the middle. The Japanese government's move to enact dark pattern advertising regulations is also likely a factor. I believe the quiet reporting to various agencies has had an effect, and I hope it moves in a healthier direction (wishful thinking).
