Why does anyone even still link to that trash publication?

Are you sure you are not thinking about New York Post?
New York times used to be a very respected paper, and still is AFAIK, except among MAGA republicans, because they dared criticize Trump.

Nope, and I know what you’re saying, but I personally consider the times to be garbage as a source or any journal for that matter as long as they charge a subscription fee. The simple reason is that if you’re going to share it with anyone, they can’t see it because of the fucking pay wall, that greatly diminishes its value to me

I use Firefox with "Bypass Paywalls Clean".
It is frivolous IMO to call it garbage just because it cost money.
If the paywall is the problem, you should complain about that instead.

Maybe it is, but I still think it's garbage

NYTimes has lost all credibility for much better reasons than charging money.
