Seriously, I'd like the new york times to die in a fire.

Apart from the paywalling, the stupid site has decided that I'm a bot - but I can load pages in a private window. I've tried clearing all storage for the site, but no-go.

So I'll apply the logic I do everywhere: if you're going to block me from reading it, it's not important, and I don't care.

The gift link I provided works if you don't use ad blockers, VPN, script blockers, DNS-level filtering, security software, tracking prevention, the list is endless.

It's a choice.
