As for "too much being shoved down your throat", surely that's hyperbole? Now me, I'm too cheap to spend $15 to get the lockscreen promotion removed, but I don't even notice what it is, and once past that Amazon's not promoting anything to me unless I go looking for it.
But you do you, as they say.  |
I've never paid to remove Lock Screen ads on any of the (too) many Fire tablets I've had. I'm pretty much hard wired to ignore what is there, and rarely get covers so I'm used to having to swipe to wake.
I have virtually no investment in Android apps so it's not worth it for me to install Google Play. I download Firefox from Mozilla.org, Apple Music from apkmirror, and that's about all I want on there.
