Just go this way, and if you're fed up with the Play Store switch to Aurora Store: same apps, no ads.
And/or set up something like Obtainium for those apps you can pull directly from their source.
Gets you updates a lot faster, too
Can you link it please?
Edit: got it now and it looks great! Thanks to all those who linked.

I definitely didn't know about Aurora store until this post. Currently have it downloaded on my tablet and phone now, thanks for the great advice!
I dunno how anyone uses Aurora Store. Every time I try it says I'm rate limited or just has a permanent loading icon.
It had problems with the rate limited accounts for the last months, but I think they're fixed now. I haven't had any problem in the last weeks. If you keep getting these messages I'd recommend clearing app data and starting a new anonymous login session.
