everyone like me that won't ever pay them a cent.
Yeah, how terrible that you should be expected to spend /eleven minutes/ of the average U.S. tech worker's salary for a month of information. Perish the thought.
They should sell their stuff by mail
You're in luck! You can subscribe to the New York Times by mail, just like you want.
At this point I would pay just as much to not see a single link to NYT content in my life. I can't pay for that? Well, that's my point.
You can write a simple extension for your web browser that will solve this for you, which is more in line with the hacker ethos than paying for it.
I can't pay for that?
You don't have to. You only need one line of CSS in your browser's supplemental CSS file to hide them.
If you can't do that minimal amount of coding, you're on the wrong web site.
I wrote myself an extension to bypass all youtube adverts and used it for years. I'm perfectly capable of evading NYT garbage once the fury exceeds the lazyness. Still the issue remains. I'm not the only one bothered by paywalled links in search results, being linked from websites and suggested in feeds of mobile apps. Checkbox to filter them out was requested long time ago. Never implemented.
