> The standalone website launched in late March, with a twist: The full text of each story published on Esquire Classics is also sent out in a weekly email — the latest evidence that people’s inboxes are gaining appeal as a publishing platform.
My reading of NYT articles (as opposed to a page of links to an article, like their front page) comes from these three avenues:
1. Their morning email to me.
2. Links from HN.
3. Going to their site directly. I almost never do this.
Note that I pay for an online subscription to NYT, but I still almost never go there directly. I like their article pages, but their link pages are redundant and messy.
I'll go so far to say that I wouldn't be a NYT subscriber if it hadn't been for their daily email (free) and HN links. Their general site never made me feel like I wanted to subscribe.
- roymurdock 11y agoI get both the NYT and the Quartz daily briefs in my inbox. I find the Quartz email to have a) much more relevant/interesting content and b) to be much more readable with no obnoxious ads. I'm not affiliated with Quartz in any way but I would suggest you check out their daily brief if you like to consume news this way.
- a3n 11y agoI don't have ads in my NYT emails either. I have adblock in my Thunderbird. :)
