Anyone else think the play store has had such a constant decline to the point where you can barely find an app without being flooded with ads. I pretty much only use f droid at this point because the quality of apps is just higher

Yeah my negative review of the Reddit app got removed for not being "truthful" when I (imo fairly) reviewed it as the dumpster fire it is.

I had an app that did a simple job, and worked flawlessly for more than a year. Then it suddenly started putting display-filling ads in my message feed. I looked things up, and learned that the app has been bought by some online shopping profitteer company, and not only spews ads, but also collects all kinds of data all of a sudden.

If that does not describe a "shitty app", I don't know. One Star Review (would have given 0 stars if possible), and instant uninstall.
