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.

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.
