News+ is as much about ‘news’ as you care to make it.
As with any all you can eat subscription service (Netflix, Spotify, etc.) there will be plenty of content which is of no interest, and content that is not included. But by the same token it is a platform for discovering things that you would not otherwise find, and bundling can save money and be more convenient than managing separate subscriptions.
There are risks to self-curation: you may miss out on things that you would value, enjoy, or which are otherwise ‘good for you to know’ even if you don’t necessarily enjoy what you learn.
I’m enjoying it more than Texture so far - because it is more news-oriented, and customizable, and consolidates reading that used to take place in browser and various apps. And I’ll be able to cancel a couple of existing subscriptions.
