Gaming (earn by playing, also referred to as Play-To-Earn / P2E)
There’s the old adage — if you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product. With Play-To-Earn (P2E), it is like an order of magnitude deeper — install them and they essentially own your device. Most apps already require permission to access your contacts, storage (saved images), text messages, etc, but P2E can go into hyper-aggressive mode: One or more ads per minute, aggressive tactics to get you to install other apps (i.e., only way to decline, or go back is to terminate the app), etc. That being said, it is a growing field, and not all P2E apps work that way. Do your own research, before installing any apps.
