    I know a lot of the people reading this are in the USA, but can we get into the habit of including context in the post title or description?

    Eligibility requires having made digital Play Store purchases specifically between the dates of August 16, 2016, and September 30, 2023, and is open exclusively to US citizens

    My first thought was “Oh wow, I actually bought a lot of stuff back in the day, most of which has been removed”, but then I realized that I haven’t bought anything from google play in well over 10 years. Time flies…
