Agreed about privacy. So how is apple helping websites get paid?

  They keep trying with Apple News & similar products, but frankly people aren't (for the most part) willing to pay for content they're used to getting for free. See the mobile app marketplace, e.g. I really hoped Apple would get into micropayments for online content a long time ago, but I haven't even glanced at what Apple News+ entails, so perhaps I'm a hypocrite.

  The plan should be to make something so good people will pay for it. Asking Apple to help with that is a little like asking a guitar company to help musicians make money.

    if you go by that analogy, it's as if apple is taking away all the tip jars from musicians because they dont like them. wouldn't musicians be right to protest?

      That's a stretched analogy, but I'll go with it. In this case Apple isn't saying you can't have a tip jar, just that your tip jar has to be ethical.
