Not dead, when I update, then Ill update - soon
I think it´s great Google updates their policies and deletes old apps - this gives a kind of "hard reset" and everyone has a chance to influence the app market nowLast time, I've created 2 journeys and one time I succed but no time for update it (family problems, business problems, etc.)
Second time, I've tried to be more white hat and was spamming play store with games and lock screens, as you see we have new policy for anti spam in Google Play.
So after few months later (one journey in 2017, second in January 2018), I've decided to return to Play Store and my origins. I will be not white hat guy any more.
My plan for incoming apps is pure blackhat. Mp3, video downloaders, music streamers, outside app ads, sneaky things like installing apks in the background, multiple admobs accounts, mining on "better" user devices, hiding apps in uninstall lists, etc.
Why I've decided now? Today I've got suspension for few white hat apps with communicate:
After research in Google, I see huge play armageddon, seems they are wiping all old apps (most of old developers haven't possibility to update old code because their sources missing or they just spammed massive in 2015). So seems Google is making place for new commers.
Also, as we can see on charts, Google Play removed 750k apps for April.
I don't have data for September yet, should be arround October 15 but looks like, we will have the biggest app number drop in store in history. I see panic on reddit and android forums, developers loosing legit apps, games because new privacy policy requirement.
Almost all apps using any advertising solution are affected with this new policy.
This means, we can soon observe drop in 1-2mln apps deleted from Play Store! This is huge chance. Where users will come? To new apps!
Personaly, Google removed my 3 apps but ... unpublished few hundreds of my apps, giving me 2 weeks for update. For sure, I will update my the best apps and that's all.
I also asked my friend to check his apps, removed as well! It means, Google is doing it in massive and few waves.
What will happen now? New apps and games can have big chances, greater visibility and users will focus to download them!
If you are android dev or tried with apps before without success. Jump now! We have window opened.
Do not expect niches, app links in this thread. I am going to publish stats and earnigs every few days for new blackhat apps!

Seriously? Api 26 is the threshold limit? G is too serious now. What will happen for lower api apps? I still see people using KitKat and api 19/21.maybe affected, maybe still not
type this "Violation of Usage of Android Advertising ID policy and section 4.8 of the Developer Distribution Agreement" in Google and you will see panic, hour after hour on reddit and other websites we have new post with crying.
of course, some of developers will update their apps but not if you:
a) lost your app code, maybe pc damaged few years ago
b) you were spammer, most of spammers are not keeping source code, upload and forget, also Google will not allow new submission for apps with API <26 now, it means most of developers who lost apps, are forced to reprogram their apps, it's impossible for many older apps to rewrite without big costs or long time

Update:
I've uploaded 7 youtube apps, making arround $30/day with them and I am very dissapointed.
Thats why not updating my journey because found new fresh niche, it is so fresh that 5 days ago people made first apps in this niche and in few days they got 100k installs
I am making copies and Ill not share this niche but results, when I get them. Thats why this topic is not closed.
Full of work on my head, few JVs, websites and my own apps.
Happy?
