Does anyone here actually support Google's Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

At least make it a toggle, like you need to request access for your account for your phone.

Kneecapping everyone because idiots exist is idiotic.

    It is a toggle. they just locked said toggle behind a 24 hour time lock. It's ridiculous. I think if they kept it the way it was without said time lock it wouldn't be anywhere near as controversial.

    I don't want Google to control how many and often I install apps or update them. Imagine having this 24 hour time lock on your PC. Do you know how many people get scammed or malware on PC? Should this be adopted everywhere, because its a good solution? Off course its ridiculous. 24 hour time lock is not acceptable solution. The is literally the worst toggle I have seen in my life.

    That's not even the only issue. Developers have to give their identity / pass to Google. That alone is a multi-worm-level of issue. Google doesn't care about its users, they only care about controlling the market and everyone.
