The link is 7 months old. I am geniunely curious how this is relevant to the discussion. Can you clarify please?
NYTimes + incognito = rejection.
The next question would be "why is the browser advertising that it's in incognito mode?", but that's not a question for the NYT.
An age old tactic I have encountered: Deep discounts (after raising the prices of course). For e.g. (Harvard research paper - WIP) https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/18-113_16977... https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/11/how-ret... https://www.forbes.com/sites/camilomaldonado/2018/09/24/what...
If something is worth X at time Y at place Z to the buyer, then it doesn’t matter what the discount is or isn’t.

I don’t understand the issue with this sales tactic. There is complete price transparency, and it takes minimal mental capacity to understand that “discounts” are just to fulfill people’s desire to “get” something that others might not be able to. If they want that dopamine hit, then let them have it. If something is worth X at time Y at place Z to the buyer, then it doesn’t matter what the discount is or isn’t.

Nice that the editor was at least allowed to point out that their own employer employs many of these "dark patterns".
> About 30 sites made it easy to sign up for services but particularly hard to cancel, requiring phone calls or other procedures. The Times requires people to talk with a representative online or by phone to cancel subscriptions, but the researchers did not study it or other publishing sites.
