A bootleg or malicious application often displays a high number of ads as it could be designed to generate revenue through adware. This behavior is abnormal for regular applications that typically have moderated ad content. Answers suggesting official updates or pre-installed apps are incorrect as these sources regulate ad appearances more strictly and are less likely to cause overwhelming ad activity.
