I prefer searching too, but sometimes it's nice to just "put TV on." I do this now with Amazon Prime Video, which has a "Live" feature that mimics a guide akin to Channel Surfer. Also my dad (age 85) struggles with Youtube on our TV because of the decision paralysis.

Original photography sometimes has tricky licensing — photos are good for only 5 years, then have to be renewed. That’s what photo editors at these magazines do. The text content itself is usually a one-and-done deal though.

Different problem, but I was looking for a book a few days ago that was an absurd $33 for the Kindle version on Amazon. (Paperback was a buck or two more.) I found a PDF of the book on Google after combing through about 10 links.

How do you define "a significant portion of their users"? 51%? 25%? 1%?

I signed up to Apple Music for this very reason, and will likely dump Spotify despite my love for their Discover feature.

Napkin math:

If 1 million people sign up to AN+ at $10 per month, that’s $10 million per month brought in, or $120 million per year. Apple takes $60 million of that, and 300 publishers divvy up the other $60 million, which if distributed equally would be $200K per year, per magaizine. Apple has stated that payment will correspond with performance, which Apple defines as “time spent,” which will probably heavily skew to the publications being featured on the front page of AN+. Publications that don’t use the enhanced format (which is roughly half of them, currently) will likely never appear on the front page, which means they’ll earn nada, and the revenue will be lopsided to the publications Apple promotes.

Everything hinges on how Apple defines “Time Spent” and how much that correlates with promotion on AN+’s front home screen.

All of these magazines are on the free version of Apple News, but I haven’t done a deep-dive into how much of their content is available, so I get it if the “full access” part is important to you. I do wonder how important this is to most people though.
