I'm fully bought in to the Apple ecosystem and I have always been puzzled when I hear about Apple perverting their product with the taint of advertisements. I recently realized that my puzzlement is because I don't use Apple News or Stocks and I do all app discovery away from the (cr)Appstore.
Unfortunately, I guess that the advertising infection will spread to the point where it is unavoidable. At that point, I will drop Apple and pray that there is a functional alternative.

- wintermutestwin 4y agoThere are no good alternatives, but I mostly use reddit and general websearches (filtering out the ever prevalent blogspam). I'd probably pay for a ton more apps if the appstore wasn't so terrible.
