    I really hate that every website now requires an account just to view its content. NYT even now has Wordle behind an account to have a streak... Their Bolognese sounds good though.

      Just checking, this exact link should still work for everyone, even if the articles linked in it don't work, right? I tried it in Incognito mode and it worked.

        Works for me. What's the trick to generate a nonpaywalled url like this? Get it from their newsletter I suppose?

      You and me both. Is this trend a reaction to the ginormous amount of data companies are scraping to train LLMs? For reddit at least, the API fiasco and surge of chatGPT timeline seem to support...

        It's a reaction to the general implosion of advertising money. Companies use to pay way too much CPM to online advertisers believing it to be a silver bullet, but expectations have come down to earth in the last decade.

        So this is the reality - if you don't want ads, or even if you do, not everything can be sufficiently ad supported now. NYT journalists get paid a decent wage, in an expensive area, and this is the cost of reading their work.

          Did I misunderstand the parent comment? I thought the complaint was requirement of making an account regardless of whether the content behind is paid or free

            So the base link works. However the deep links require an account to read. The base content is pretty much worthless, because it doesn't mention anything about the recipe except that it's good....

            Funny though, I just scrolled down the page with the modal still active and read it. Just annoying is all.
