Newspapers.com is an Ancestry.com property. I'm not sure who's the larger company in terms of user base, do you know their respective sizes?

Oh, I didn't know that. Two rivals doing the exact same thing. The move makes even more sense now.
They are both around 4 milion paying users (each)
I have accounts on both. In 2018, I would visit Ancestry 80% and MyH 20%. MyH was good for post-1940 records.

Now it's ~99% A & 1% MyH. I try MyH when I can't find something on Ancestry - generally w/o luck. Most of my MyH hits are profiles from FamilySearch (probably ones that I made).
