Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.

After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.
There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are “official”. The one package that has a “verified” check also has a full description of just the word “blah”, so it’s clear it’s not the real one and the “verified” checkmark means nothing.
Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others’ work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.
And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.
Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.
