> If they were smart they would do a Netflix of news where you subscribe to one service and it gives you access to a ton of different subscription news sites
The ads are less intrusive than paid subscriptions from the providers IMO. Not a fan of the double-dip either though.
…which makes it no different practically every other form of periodical news media that’s ever existed.
Apparently they can be blocked (mitigated?) with PiHole. But your point stands.
Isn’t this true for Netflix as well?
Except it doesn't work with links, which is usually how I find news stories. I have Apple One (which includes News), but If I click on a link to the WSJ, I get the paywall. To read the article, I have to copy the article title or headline (if I can find it!), and paste it into the News app to read it.
Use the share menu and select the News app and it’ll open the story in it. Not as easy as those app banners but still not too difficult.
TIL, thanks for the tip!
Thanks. I never would have thought to do that - the News app wasn't even one of the default targets for me.
