I’m not going to deal with this, unsubscribing. I recommend everyone else to do the same, we can’t let them get away with this. You can instead donate to an actually good news source, such as ProPublica. And nyt has a bunch of controversies, listed here. I can’t support this with a clear conscience.
Silly rabbit, did you think paying for a subscription would protect from advertising forever?
I am old enough to remember when cable TV was sold to the masses on the premise that if we bought cable, we wouldn’t have to see commercials, since our subscriptions would pay for the service.
It’s a ratchet system; annoy you, convince you to pay to make the annoyance go away, then wait a while and introduce another annoyance… and convince you to pay somre more on top of that to get rid of that annoyance… rinse, repeat.
Take to the seas, my lad (or lassie). yarrrrr.
Lassie :3
What are some good paywall blockers btw? 12ft.io doesn’t seem to work with nyt.
Yeah 12ft.io had to block the NYT because the NYT threatened them I think
12ft.io did an OG AdBlock and told NYT that they’ll disable the site for them if they paid up.
See if you can find the article on http://web.archive.org/
This one seems to work well… at least for nyt.

Honestly I just wait for other sources without paywalls if I hit one to avoid giving them any clicks :)
I use firefox with adblock and some kind of paywall blocker. Never get ads and no problem reading nyt.
some kind of paywall blocker.
Like no script?
Bypass paywalls clean is the name, it doesnt work on everuthing but i have no problem with the nyt. There are a million firefox addons, i get mine from internet comments. I recommend ublacklist which lets you block websites from google search results, eg no more facebook, twitter, instagram.
Bypass Paywalls, on github?

Theres a plugin for a variety of browsers, i use FF on Android and Desktop…
The NYT has been silencing columnists too critical of Trump https://contrarian.substack.com/p/departing-the-new-york-times
Time to unsubscribe.
Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know the reason he left and assumed the NYT would have let him say why in his farewell column.
The New York Times has literally had ads on paid subscriptions… forever. Like literally hundreds of years.
Imagine paying for this shite, even without ads.
100% agree
Weren’t you subscribed until recently?
I was
Then I think you missed the point of my orginal comment.
Thats what you get for giving money to nazi enablers.
Nazi enablers? I don’t doubt you, but I’d love to read more about it. May I see a source?
The New York TImes published over 200 pro-trump or pro-elon articles in 2024.
Then … there is this: https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/buried-by-the-times-the-holocaust-and-americas-most-important-newspaper
It’s been like that on The Athletic ever since they got bought out by NYT. If they didn’t knock the price of my annual sub down to $20 when I went to cancel it, I’d already have gotten rid of it. After this discount year though, I’m done.
Seems like it’s all down to whether they paid more to show you their ad than you paid not to see it.
No. Its just greed. Because that math will always work out. If you pay 100 for the service and theycan make 1 extra for showing you ads they will choose the bigger number. They will tell you that its just one ad it’s not that much. And you are paying to not see the one you havent seen. But soon it will be 2 ads. Then 3. Then a banner at the bottom. That is enshitification
Pay for the ads just like cable became. Give us all your information so we may better fleece you while you are at it.
I think the real question here is why you’re paying for corporate media that’s entirely propaganda for the GOP these days?
I did say I’m unsubscribing, fuck the GOP and nyt
That condo is pretty ugly anyways. Just a lot of big windows (which make the house super hot in summer and cold in winter) and sad beige.
Gross. Why would you give money to those genocide deniers
