I agree, this seems like a very unhelpful low-effort post. "Want to get users to use your apps? Put ads for your apps in your other apps!" is basically it. As well as putting all your apps on the same developer account (seems like that's the norm though right). It basically boils down to "Get people to use your apps and then you can get people to use another one of your apps! Simple!"

Especially irrelevant for apps which take privacy as serious as possible and don't run tracking, analytics etc. Thus adverts will definitely not be happening.

We've had that challenge with Umbrella App and have done out best to try to also have it on Google Play, Amazon App Store, F-Droid, direct .apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.u...

Advertising does not require tracking or analytics.

Advertising networks usually require them, but if you are the one announcing, you can choose to (not) use whatever you want.
