I have apple one, which includes the news. Barely use it. There are ads, not that many. Over all, the ads are palatable. Think smaller box in middle of screen, unlike the full screen take over of websites without blockers. But definetly has ads. Also the discovery isn’t great and some articles are available and some aren’t. You can share from paywall articles for eligible publishers and open in news, works a bit more than half the time for me. I guess if you like traditional media then it’s great. Also includes magazines but so does your library. Personally I find the notifications to be politically slanted occasionally but a good way to know what the next new thing is. That’s a personal opinion but it turns me off from using it.
