For real, I once had a Xiaomi phone and for a long time it was giving me jumpscares with ads. I thought my phone has malware, and I went through every single antivirus I found in the Play Store until one day I googled it and found out that their phones are just brimming with ads by design. Delightful.

I suddenly had an ad pop up when i openend my gallery and it confused the fuck out of me. I had to install something on my pc and connect my phone to delete and restrict all the shit on the phone. Kind of annoying but very much worth it.
