The NYT just crossed a threshold with me: for the first time, as I clicked on the link, I thought as I did it "Ugh, I'll have to log in even to see what this article is about" and clicked on back before the NYT page even loaded.

Next stop: See (nytimes.com) after the link, and don't even click.

Singapore has some advantages. It is small, so in terms of dollar-per-citizen, its infrastructure burden is lower. It is also located within kilometres of some of the world's busiest trade routes, both north-south and east-west; indeed its port is one of the world's most active.

For me, this is an issue with Thomas Friedman, not with NYT in general.

You don't save simple pswds in your browser!? I haven't logged into nytimes.com in literally years.

If there was a better newspaper, NYT would get fewer of my clicks.
