This reminds me of movies and "release windows" (releasing the same movie at different times in different countries & formats in an attempt to maximize profits)

This reminds me of movies and "release windows" (releasing the same movie at different times in different countries & formats in an attempt to maximize profits). It sounds, from this, like the NYT is still stuck in 20th century thinking and just doesn't understand how modern people use technology and information. Or maybe it does, but it is just too calcified in its current business model to understand how to get from point A (old business model) to point B (new/convenient/modern business model). Same thing with cable TV and "cord cutters" (and "cord nevers") vs. Netflix that "just works" on various devices and seamlessly remembers where you were in a movie/episode if you switch devices.
