Ads are Absurd!!!
People have a love-hate relationship with ads. This app will demonstrate how ads are displayed in mobile apps. Why would you want to see that?... Perhaps for education or perhaps entertainment?

-Why do people sit through a 15-second ad on YouTube just to watch a movie trailer? They are literally watching an ad just to watch another ad… Oh the irony!
-Why do people who are bored with football watch the Superb Owl?... Because of the ads (and maybe the halftime show).
-Have you ever noticed at the end of some TV talk shows they will say, “Stay tuned because after the break we will have more”, but after sitting through 2+ minutes of commercials, the more content is just them saying goodbye and rolling credits.

All this is paradoxically true, but ads are still needed for the proper functioning of our economy. They are a way to subsidize costs and allow people to access content, products, and services without having to pay money, trade, or barter, which is beneficial.


Side note: This app is written in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
