I think it's a compelling and feasible solution to the news site monetization problem. It just seems difficult to imagine users flocking to something like this away from ad blockers—which improve daily (and are mostly free).

I don't personally hold the view that this directly reflects a company's innovative quality, but again if that's the measuring stick, it only seems to further the argument that Apple's design decisions aren't what they used to be.
Things in common between the three new-ish apps mentioned above is a sleek, simplified UI, all with the essentials when it comes to features.
I've tried a number of the ones on the page you've referenced, but most are too big a step back.
My hope is that there's a Sketch-esque InDesign type app out there that I've missed among the latest and greatest. I'm coming to believe, however, that's only wishful thinking. ;)
Every now and then it falls short, but it seems to improve every day.
And, when all else fails, there's always the ol' !g bang to jump over to an encrypted Google search.
For example: "I disagree with the President of the United States and feel his policies are harming America."
Response: "You are a racist."
Of course, the reason for disagreeing with the President has nothing to do with race, yet it's an easy way to attack and silence points with which some do not agree.
As one commenter noted, "there are no rules." Really, it comes down to rational, thinking human beings being open to an alternative point of view rather than finding every way possible to attack people on the other end of the table—whether by downvoting or crying "racism."
Let's add to this the increase of video and audio surveillance, and oh yes, more new gadgets like Google Glass which enable just about anyone to record a stranger on the street without a notice.
Yep, because some teens regularly delete Facebook posts, privacy is on the upswing. Makes perfect sense.
