Congrats, you setup an algorithm that aims to trigger real people to behave a certain way by tricking their subconscious trough language.
You might call this business, i call it enshitification.
When people need an app they are able to look for a fit and compare optioned tailored to their needs, ideally using factual neutral information about similar apps.
Customers who are lured into clicking based purely on a ad are not making a deliberate decision for themselves and while you are not responsible for their actions you are preying on it.
To me, and this is an opinion: All software should Be open source and free, all software should exist to the benefit of all people and preferably be well documented, and public advertisement of any kind should be contained within very strict limits.
