I agree with what you're saying, but I stopped paying for the NYT for similar reasons. My subscription isn't enough to keep them in business, so either I'm not paying enough or they're wasting my money.
If I pay for something that I could have easily and legally gotten for free and then it's plastered in ads, either charge me more or revisit your business model. I want to see them stay around, yes, but I wasn't getting the value for my money that I expected to get.
- a3n 10y agoAgreed, my sub fee doesn't pay for the NYT's existence. And worse, I block ads. I'm sure I wouldn't pay the actual fee required to support their current operations. I think, or at least hope, that we're in a transition period for large operations that are currently ad supported. If ads didn't suck up so much of my resources, and were benign and didn't track me, then I'd relent. But as it is, ads don't just buy space, they buy people and any information the ad networks can get away from collecting, gleaning or stealing. "Homey don't play dat."
