Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.
This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?
I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.

Just like Google Search results. I don't even really notice those anymore because my brain ignores them automatically.
I used to think the same thing: first three results or so are always ads, so just ignore. And then recently they've changed to be 90% ads even after the initial few. It's hard to find something that someone hasn't paid to display :(

How does this work in the Google Play store?
