I used to monetize my Android apps with a well known platform that seemed honest. Until I started receiving reports from users that got scammed by some ad publishers using the platform, even got one of my apps suspended due to porn ads! This is not the fault of devs and it's really difficult to avoid.

If you include 3rd party software in your app, and that 3rd party software does something bad, then that's totally your fault.

Apps in stores are 3rd party software as well, so it's Apple and Google's fault?

Why did you quote my sentence without including the first part? It completely changes my statement.
Apple and Google do not automatically install or run 3rd party apps from the store. If they did, then yes, obviously it would be their fault, but they don't.
