Completely agree with all this, though my take away is that there's a big vicious cycle of adblockers and paywalls where they keep getting worse. I can't afford to subscribe to every newspaper I read. All the local (and smaller national) papers should unionize and make one subscription for something like $20 a month
- adrr 3y agoIsn't that apple news+?
- whycome 3y agoThe publishers didn't do that and it's Apple-only.
- internetter 3y agoAnd you still see ads
- paulcole 3y agoThere’s nothing wrong with paying for content and still seeing ads.
- teeray 3y agoThere is everything wrong with that if that wasn’t the deal to begin with. You’re paying for information and they’re deliberately injecting noise in the signal. It’s degrading the quality of what you’re paying for without a commensurate adjustment in the rate.
- paulcole 3y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but Apple never advertised Apple News+ as ad-free.
