Answer 1

You attract users to your game using ads that show much better gameplay than you can provide. Good gameplay is expensive, but a 5 second ad is cheap to make. Then when tens/hundreds of thousands of people download your app, you can market yourself to in-game ad companies. It doesn’t matter if they only open it once, see an ad and no gameplay, then uninstall; these companies only care that you saw the ad.
