Too bad there's not a netflix/spotify for journalism.
No single journalism source is worth a subscription for 99.9% of people.
Aggregated, maybe.
The home page is shamefully Trump spam and tabloid garbage, but the magazine section isn’t terrible. I read The Atlantic and The New Yorker frequently on it.
Avoiding that is easier said than done: I used to pay for Apple News+, but ended up clicking on just enough clickbait to only get clickbait in my feed.
If they had a way to only allow certain news sources then I’d probably re-subscribe.
The next problem is that news outlets are paid per click, so they have incentive to use dark patterns to get clicks.
The last straw for me were things like “Biden hog tied in back of pickup truck …” with “… tailgate mural” hidden behind the click.
If you fall for it once, they aggressively uprank similar news outlets in your feed.
