Agreed, 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."
