Both Meta and Google have said they would remove Canadian news from their platforms to avoid having to compensate the news outlets.

Yes there does! Having bought subscriptions to a few of my favourite news sites, I'm struck by how much worse the experience is than something like google news. I'll need to figure out something, because I only just want news, not a digital version of the newspaper and i certainly don't want another 100 MB app.

Aggregation is a killer feature for news, and providers need to figure out how to make it work without a tech company eating their lunch. Either through activitypub or something else, but hopefully a public standard of some sort so they aren't beholden to a corporation.

The unix greybeard method would be to use RSS and Baysean scoring of articles. A competent emacs user can whip up their own solution in an afternoon.

As a Unix greybeard I haven't had time for that in decades!
