Yet other subscription... great
This combines about 8 other subscriptions into one for me, and saves a ton of money. Definitely not complaining.

A subscription service for out-of-date legacy media is something legacy media would want… but not consumers.
Philosophically, I agree with the move.
It disincentives click bait, and encourages content to make money off of time spent reading instead.

I just called the WSJ to cancel my direct subscription with them, which is currently running $15/month but was scheduled to go back to their usual price of $35/month starting in April. The customer service rep asked why I was switching and I told him due to today's Apple News+ announcement that includes the WSJ. He seem well prepared for this and listed a bunch of WSJ features that wont be available on the News+ subscription, things like crosswords and Lifestyle stories, none of which I use or read. After finally giving up on that he offered to lower my subscription price to $20/month. I literally laughed out loud for a few seconds into the phone. I asked why would I pay twice as much as News+ to get the same content I need, not to mention a bunch of other magazines I may read on occasion. He finally relented and I could almost feel his head lowering on the phone as he quietly said he would process my cancellation request.

Well, I literally laughed out loud reading that anyone actually pays for the WSJ.
Why wouldn't someone pay for one of the last remaining news organizations that still does investigative journalism, much of which is focused on business and market issues that can mean the difference between being an informed investor and a clueless one?
