This happens in Apple News and it's really sad to see. All of the ads are terrible:

* junk hearing aids that appear to produce a strange glow in the users ear * lead generation ads with clickbait statements (looking right now at "Senior Drivers in Your State With No DUI Should Read This") * "Motley fool issues first-ever 9x buy alert" (wow first ever!) * "Little-known Roth conversion strategy allowed by IRS"

I've never intentionally clicked on an ad in Apple News.

This is a service I pay for and these ads are insulting.

How much revenue are they producing relative to my subscription fees? Why can't I pay an extra $1/month to turn them off completely.

Becasue they are making much more than $1 per month on selling targetted ads using your highly personalised and accurate ad profile.

They're not targeted. I actually searched around the app settings looking for an option to enable targeted ads. If I'm forced to see ads, I'd much rather see ads for things I might actually care about.

Yes they are, here you go:

Cool thanks. I enabled personalized ads. I'll disable again if quality doesn't improve.

Apple, I'd much prefer to just pay to have no ads.
