'collation of creative articles all on one newsfeed'

Why does an app like this not exist already?
- the companies and blogs want the readers to be using their website
- ads fund the articles published (fig. 1 + fig. 2)
- already email subscriptions

Solutions
- include the ads on the app
- give the user the option to open to the source (website) of the article
- have a section of links to useful creative websites and blogs
- email subscriptions often get pushed into trash or disregarded as important
- the app may help more people to find the creative websites, so the companies could benefit from it rather than lose viewers
- go completely the opposite direction and have it rebelling against the idea of the websites needing ads (along the lines of www.adbusters.org)
