What is the relevance of this at all to the topic we’re discussing?
- Ansil849 5y agoThe relevance is that the NYT has a sordid history of user hostile actions, and this is just the latest in a long line of them. In other words, the relevance is in highlighting that this is kind of conduct is part of a pattern, not an aberration. This is relevant, as it helps situate the action.

- gdulli 5y agoIt's outrage culture. The people who don't like a thing use their dislike as a wildcard, making it relevant to every discussion involving that thing.
- spaceisballer 5y agoI for one am outraged, what are we mad at now? Honestly I don’t mind NYT, I ended up getting a sub to their Games and it’s fun enough and better for my sanity then doom scrolling. Also I cancelled auto renew immediately, easy peasy.
