Oh, the content is relevant. Just not the newspaper. Or in other words, the package deal in which I have to pay for content that is 90% irrelevant to me, distributed (even online) in a way I consider quite inconvenient. Which is exactly why I only read a very small subset of NYT's content via HN. Unfortunately, there's no convenient way to pay for that kind of usage. But I don't feel sorry for the newspapers about that. They've had decades to invest in solving that problem, and most of them have invested exactly 0 cents. They've thrown millions at online publishing and keeping their offline business going, but when it came to investing in the one thing that could possibly give their future readers what they actually want, they just bitched about "the market" not providing them with a convenient solution.
