Ongoing frustrations with crappy ads in Apple News+ continue. I pay good money for this service and this is the sort of junk ad that seems to show up once or twice in the middle of every story. C'mon, Apple, you can do better.

@shayman @dsilverman I stopped paying for the Apple One tier that gave me News+ due to the ads. In Apple’s defence, the more egregious ads are put in the articles by the publishers. Not Apple. But I’d pay extra for a zero ads version.
I switched to Readly.
@ianRobinson @shayman “…the more egregious ads are put in the articles by the publishers.”
Interesting. How do you know this?
@dsilverman @shayman It might have been their use of a third party add supplier that many publications use that I read about. See https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/06/apple-dinged-over-low-quality-scammy-looking-ads-on-apple-news/
@dsilverman @shayman I read it somewhere. But I can’t definitely say if it’s true.
