Is this a joke? Text displayed as artifact-y JPGs? What was Apple thinking. (And don't tell me they weren't involved).

If they weren't, it's equally silly. I'm not saying its fair, but Apple has certainly jeopardized the perception of this portion of their platform due to The Daily's shortcomings.
Apple was obviously not involved in the development of this app (except for providing News Corp. with early access to their subscription API). Why would think they were?
