The NYT is notable for having transitioned to very successful online subscriptions business model.
This has lead to a subtle but noticeable shift in tone and content to satisfy that subscriber base. One can hardly blame them.
The quality of their reporting still remains generally quite high, but you often have to read 20 paragraphs in before they get around to facts many of their subscribers might be put off by.

- somedude895 2y agoI don't read the NYT since I disagree with their politics, but honestly I much prefer news outlets pandering to an audience, with those people's subscription revenue allowing them to create decent quality journalism, rather than them churning out lowest common denominator slop for volume of clicks and ad revenue. Sure, it creates bubbles, but that's always been the case and it's much better than the alternative.
