I'm just one data point, but I haven't personally seen any of those ads in macOS but I don't use Apple News. Also I see all of these links are reports from 3 - 8 years ago so perhaps some of them don't occur any more?
Regardless, it's rather rude to call people names here when we're just having a discussion. Your tone is offensive.
- angoragoats 2y agoHere's another data point: today, in 2024, I see the behavior mentioned in the 2nd and 3rd links on a daily basis on multiple of my Apple devices.

- talldayo 2y agoYou were wrong. MacOS has advertisements, that's the long-and-short of it. I correct people when they make this mistake because Hacker News has a habit of giving corporations undue lip-service. You can be mad at me if it makes you feel better, but the problem is that Apple doesn't respect your attention. MacOS today literally violates it's own Human Interface Guidelines to serve you advertisements; think on that for a moment.
- jb1991 2y ago> You can be mad at me It appears you have missed the point. I'm not upset with you for referencing reports; my frustration lies with your condescending tone and name-calling, which contribute nothing to the discussion. Your approach is frankly very off-putting.
