About the app thing. The other day I had to download from the Google play store. The app you search for is NEVER the first app in the resulting list. The first slot is always sponsor slot. I consider myself quite tech literate and I have accidentally installed that sponsored app because I searched for an app (with very specific search terms) and without thought selected the first. Google is one step away from that trope of the moving X button to close the ad. It’s infuriating. Now imagine a tech illiterate trying to get an app.
I had a roommate that did this. Except their reason for not cleaning it was that they thought all that stuff leftover was what is called seasoning. AND they wanted the cast iron seasoning to flavor their dishes.
I tried to gently explain the misconceptions, but they believed their grandma instead of me.
