I find it strange that no one seems to be talking about what his does to NYT's google-juice/clout in the link economy. NYT peddles influence by being widely read/the paper of record, but doesn't putting up a paywall directly mitigate that? Ad-supported model seems to (for the most part) complement that; a paywall opposes it.
