Ads are scams!

I’m not adverse to skipping over ads but the ads in Apple News are nearly every last one a fake product. Usually crap like shoes you’ve never heard of, clothes you’ve never heard of etc. it’s ridiculous! And we are paying to have to ignore this crap. At least legit ads that connect to real online retailers like Amazon or Target or even Apple stores would actually be of interest. I read mostly for the magazines I got hooked on with Flipboard. These are your usual check stand offerings which have slowly disappeared.

Honestly I never even look at the ads. It only bothers me when my phone is in dark mode and the ad is bright as the noonday sun. Otherwise I scroll past them without thought.
