I tried it as a replacement to Apple News and found it to be much worse.
As the other comment said, the “AI” integration was poorly implemented and didn’t allow enough tailoring to make it worth it.
The comments and social features shouldn’t have been implemented.
On top of that, it didn’t have big news publishers like the Atlantic. Had plenty of listicle BS from sites I’d never heard of before. As I scrolled through I found myself thinking “who TF is this?”.
