BTW I think the nyt is having huge problems since the Biden op Ed where they pushed him to resign.

I subscribe to the games section and they keep begging me to subscribe to the paper for 0 dollars I think to inflate their numbers

They put a bunch of games stuff behind a paywall like Flashback and Worldle bot 😠

Spelling Bee was my everything, I've been so upset. 🐝

NYT has been publishing a lot of weird stuff recently, especially a lot of seemingly pro-IDF shit.

The NY Times has been sanewashing Trump's demented ramblings forever. Maggie Haberman has been acting as his PR rep instead of the journalist she's supposed to be. Even when he's caught doing something illegal, it's not front page news, they bury it on page 16.

They've been derelict in their duty as a newspaper for decades.

They've been having issues since that weird pro JK Rowling op-ed they published and it's going downhill even faster.

I had subscribed a few years ago for a trail to read a few short stories and I still get bombarded with OK PLEASE COME BACK PLEASE, JUST $0.99 A WEEK PLEASSSSSSSEEEE!!! Sales for any publication has been abysmal for 10+ years now. That's why they are constantly begging.

they've paywalled the entire Popcast (their music podcast) archive, which is ridiculous. years worth of episodes have always been free, and now they've changed it so only the two most recent ones are free and non-paying listeners will have to wait a whole day to listen to a new episode. it's really fucking crazy

[syvlie0o0]

They did that for all their podcasts
