What are your thoughts on alternative playstores?

They have their use. What is useless is to ban something. It will pop up again with a different name very quickly

I think they are a useful addition to Google Play Store because Google Play is unavailable on some Android devices for some reasons. In addition, sometimes some historical version of an app is actually necessary.

They should not be banned as long as their source of apk files is legitimate and they are operating legally.

Banning them doesn't fix anything, having alternatives is always good and what people strive for. And I doubt the PlayStore has much to suffer either way.

I use a couple of old apps that are not anymore on Google and when I recently changed phone I found them on an alternative store.

Play store is actually a central market where every apps are available so there is no alternative.

there you can find earlier versions of the apps that you need, so that they have some benefit

Nice alternatives.

I think that Play store is actually a central market. Don't need more markets

Nice post

I think there's nothing better than the original.
