That's not what you're paying for. You're paying journalists to research and fact check important news stories, and for developers to build interesting and novel ways to display content, and about a million other things that I'm not going to list here. It's one thing to get around the paywall because you don't read NYT often or don't have the money and wouldn't pay anyway, but if you've got the means to pay then you probably should.
And before someone says something to the extent of "the NYT is a rag, they print misinformation all the time!" I'll preemptively say that every writer has their own internal biases and you should ready multiple news sources if you want to distill some semblance of the "truth." I don't think there's any denying that NYT is at the very least in the upper tier of news organizations today.
- briandear 11y agoHowever it costs something like $37 per month. I've been a long time subscriber but that's very steep considering that barely cheaper than the print version.
- whyenot 11y agoIt's $15 a month (3.75/wk). I don't know why you believe the cost is $37, but that is not accurate.
- joe5150 11y agoIt's $3.75 a week for Web and smartphone access only. For Web and tablets it's $5 a week, and for both it's $8.75/wk.

- joe5150 11y agoIt may be cheaper than the print version! The daily subscription to the paper is close to $900 a year if you calculate the cost after the promotional period ends; however, weekday-only and Sunday-only home delivery subscriptions are ~less~ than the cost of Unlimited Digital access alone, and include Unlimited Digital access as part of the deal. Funky economics.
