I’m not going to deal with this, unsubscribing. I recommend everyone else to do the same, we can’t let them get away with this. You can instead donate to an actually good news source, such as ProPublica. And nyt has a bunch of controversies, listed here. I can’t support this with a clear conscience.
How do you apply this in the context of news articles?
Bypassing adblockers, paywalls etc. are often called ‘theft’ by mainstream media and their corporate owners. So adblockers (such as uBlock Origin) and similar methods, by the media owners’ own definitions, can be considered piracy though that definition should be disputed as merely viewing a web page doesn’t deny it from others.
