It drives me BONKERS that I can read the new yorker within the apple news app (because I pay money) but I cannot in any way through any means read the same words via a web browser to the actual new yorker site.
I know, welcome to the new internet. Apple sells me discounted access via their app because in doing so Apple can monetize my eyeballs. I hate it.
- RandallBrown 2y agoCould this be the New Yorker's problem and not Apple's? I'm not super familiar with how Apple News subscriptions work, but there's probably a way they could let you log in to the New Yorker with your Apple ID or link the accounts somehow.
- crazygringo 2y agoOnly insofar as the New Yorker chose to be available on Apple News. If you subscribe to Apple News, you have to read this article in the Apple News app on your Mac, not in a browser. It does seem like there ought to be a way to take a web URL and tell Apple News, hey, I want to read this article in your app. I don't know if that's a thing, though. It certainly should be.
- riwsky 2y agoShare button does that, at least
- jajko 2y agoNot sure what problem you are facing, but I could read that article just fine, no subscription. Win 10, Firefox. For the rest there is always archive.is
- mceachen 2y agoGosh, one might even characterize this as a Faustian bargain with some sort of FANGed daemon.
