Again... All I know is what I read... So if you Google “Apple News Monetization”... and Read the articles what do you see???
I cannot find a single article that has a Happy Publisher... They have all been Extremely Frustrated... 2016...2017... 2018... even as recently as February 2019...!!!
*** Until April 10, 2019***
“Apple News+ monetization offers publishers a payout based on the proportionate share of user engagement, which may also shine light on the "minimum" that Apple is paying the publishers.”
What Changed ???... What Strategically Changed ???...
