I’m not an english speaker. In my region, a sticker is considered to be paper that initially has a sticky layer. The paper that needs to be glued with glue from a tube is just paper.
You can but you’d be wrong. I hereby declare that a sticker is defined as having a back layer that you easily peel off, exposing the adhesive, before applying. If you create something to that effect, sticker. Otherwise, it’s just glued on paper.
In my language it will sound like “Sticked advertisement” or “Sticked piece of paper”.
A sticker is a paper with a sticky layer that is applied to this paper at the factory.
I’m just talking about the difference in languages.

Does the application of glue to paper not make that paper a sticker?

All stickers initially didn’t have a sticky layer, then had one applied.

You can absolutely call a glued paper which make to look as a sticker a sticker.

You are right, I am just being pedantic.
