I'm sure there are people for which 15$/month is a bit much, but I imagine for most HNers it's just a drop in the bucket. Could someone explain their revulsion

I'm sure there are people for which 15$/month is a bit much, but I imagine for most HNers it's just a drop in the bucket. Could someone explain their revulsion to paying for the NYTimes? They have expenses that need to be paid somehow. They produce a product that, although flawed[1], seems to do a good job of educating me about the world. I'm a satisfied online subscriber. [1] OT: Among other things, they seem to have an obsession with pointing out the flaws of the PRC; especially the IHT articles.
