You know what happens when you pay for subscriptions? They still hit you with ads and perpetual reminders to turn ad blockers off. I'm a paying user of about 10 different sites, and most all of them still remind me to turn off my ad blocker (or don't work with an ad blocker running) even after I've signed in.
News websites are dumpster fires because it's a race to the bottom. Let's say NYT is a good news source... they'll still lose eyesballs to DIPSHITPOST who doesn't spend time validating their stories before publishing them. And so you say DIPSHITPOST will go under? That's fine, there's always another IDIOTDAILYTIMES out there.
Tools like Facebook and Reddit and HackerNews are the sources we all go to to find the content, some are curated better than others, but at the end of the the day whoever gets to market first tends to be the winner. And NYT and other "good" sources will inevitably fail because fast, good, or cheap -- pick at most 2.
