Having paid for newspapers and running an adblocker, you really can't compare the experience. An adblocker doesn't give you descriptive headlines, a sensible layout of articles or even content that is meant to give you a reasonable overview of the world. I remember the Economists app, having layout with sensibly named articles in sections that are relevant (so I can skip the style section), and first paragraphs that layout the meat of the article so I could skim it. Very good for me, but terrible for "engagement". I can subscribe to them, unfortunately because they also run dark-patterns: you can subscribe online, but have to call a number during British Business hours to unsubscribe (I sent an angry email to their support, but still).
