The publishers didn't do that and it's Apple-only.

There’s nothing wrong with paying for content and still seeing ads.

There is everything wrong with that if that wasn’t the deal to begin with. You’re paying for information and they’re deliberately injecting noise in the signal. It’s degrading the quality of what you’re paying for without a commensurate adjustment in the rate.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Apple never advertised Apple News+ as ad-free.
