These days there are so many apps infested with spyware or adware, and it almost seems as if the stores themselves are promoting them in exchange for a cut. And some apps that start off clean get "updated" to include ads and spying. How do you find free apps that aren't infested?

Huh. Looking at the app permissions and the ease and ability of users to control/override them, and users not having a power user mode so they don't need to root their phones to automate stuff like turn on and off- GPS, mobile data roaming, airplane mode, etc; I'd say google or someone else is the first class citizen not the user.
