John Gruber: “It’s hard to find a single article on Apple News — a sort of ersatz pidgin version of the web — that does not do this. The exact same ad — 6, 7, 8 times within the same article. How many 30-something blonde white women need hearing aids? It’s insane.”

@mike_vlasman The ads on Apple News are ugly, but they’re not awful in nearly the same way as what @Gruber discovered for sites on the open web.
I stopped using websites in favor of Apple News everywhere I could) around 5 years ago, even though I use 1Blocker.
I gave up reading @sixcolors fora couple of years, rather than break my new rule, when they burned their Apple News feed.
