That is likely to be a major cause for increasing subscriber numbers.

Old people that use the internet.

To pay for a service that they get? To support their journalism?

#7Good for them! But is it good for us? I don't know how I feel about news organizations (liberal or conservative) profiting from the Donald Trump era.

#8As a paid sub, really don't like that they still attempt to blast you with ads.

#9It's surprising to see how small they are. Only 3.8 million subscribers, and you have to imagine that some percentage of that barely reads their content.
I wonder if there's public numbers estimating how many people in total read the New York Times, and how it compares to emerging forms of media and entertainment like YouTube.
One criticism of New York Times that I've read online is that they won't allow you to cancel your digital subscription through their website. They force you to call them. I'm not sure if that has changed recently, but that's a pretty questionable dark pattern.

If nobody pays for it then pretty soon it won't be available at any cost to anyone.
