My problem with Apple's garbage "News" app, is that it forces itself on me in a horrific way.
I don't use this term lightly- but I feel like it's a form of visual rape.
I insulate myself from negative news because it's more than just "I don't care", it's that it really disturbs me & ruins my day. I don't want to read about ANY violence... not murders, not bombings, not crimes, etc. I choose NOT to allow that in my life.
I only read tech news. That's what makes me happy & that is my choice.
That has been working perfectly for many many years.
Actually, right up to when Apple started forcing this on me.
Even though I went through & tweaked my settings, unchecking "politics", entertainment", "sports", etc.. & ONLY leaving "Tech" checked; Apple IGNORES my preferences. Any time I swipe right I get sensationalist headlines "Actor died", "Suspect captured", "Market fell", etc.
I am NOT sue happy in the slightest, but I'll tell you what- if there's ever a class action about this, I'll jump.
I do NOT deserve to be force subjected to having this negativity shoved in my face, when I clearly have gone to great lengths in my life to avoid it.
Some people don't mind all that. I do. To me it's as bad, or worse than if they forced pornography to pop up unbidden, any time a user swiped right on their screen.
It is ridiculous, uncalled for, and an affront.
People should be able to control on their devices what they do NOT wish to view.
