Oh wow, the failing NYT pulls out because they want to keep user data to sell to advertisers.

NYT readers will easily pivot to Vox for their news. No problem!
Lol did anyone ever think Apple News+ would be successful? I think like 10 people got it total.
And no advertisements. The amount of advertising in Apple News+ is too much for even me. I pay for Economist and WSJ - reading their content with an adblocker.
This would fall squarely in the web services component of their business which makes more than their wearables, mac or ipad aspects of their business. It seems like a decent thing to focus on?
Gave an honest one-month-long trial to Apple News Plus. I quickly realized that I don't need it. I don't care for most magazines. As for those that I do and newspapers, most participating in this scheme had limited content available. Apple either needs to rethink and adjust the strategy or to let go.
If you haven't seen why an "independent free press" (corporate press) isn't worthy of compensation in the last four years I don't know what to tell you.
Their news is fine. It’s the opinion columns that i wish there were an easy way to ban from my News feed.
Agreed, NYT's opinion is the worst part of them and the only reason I won't give them any money or my time.
maybe a little old school, but I am 33 and feel like I am techie enough, but there is nothing better than a physical newspaper. I tried to read the news in the morning on my iPad in order to be a little more environmentally friendly, but I LOVE getting the newspaper in person.
And unlike Apple News anyone can access The New York Times from nearly anywhere in the world whereas Apple's service is available only the the usual anglophone countries USA, Canada, Australia and UK. Apple needs to stop being so anglocentric.
I have no idea if it's usable. My issue has always been a concern that curated news would either be skewed by my habits or someones agenda. Since I couldn't see anyway to trust it I never tried it.
Apple News is the first app I delete from every new iPhone. Gah. Well I just happen to think everything in the news is lies. I know not everyone thinks that / has woken up to that yet ... 
From a business perspective NYT move makes perfect sense, why would they want to be a dumb provider with much competition packaged into this app.
The news media overall would be completely irrelevant by now if not for the fact that huge amounts of profits can be made by shaping the perceptions of the people. But I guess everyone knows this by now.

They’re just paid clickbait. Paying for a news prescription is a dying model.
I’m pretty sure that I don’t need Tim Cook’s red pioneers “curating” my news. That’s what a functional brain is for.
I read mine backwards. Last page of section 4 is the funnies, and they get me through the cooling of my cup. Section 4 is sports and it eases me into my second. Then I balance more coffee with sections 2 and 3. The front page gets left for the end or the afternoon.
It's a good ritual, and it never translated to glass.
You joined just now so you could post that? 🤦♂️
Apple News is a complete waste of time and money. But, like others, I give Apple credit for at least trying.
