You are doing god’s work.

Also, fyi for others. Many public libraries have NYT daily access codes you can use for free. It’s a bit of a pain to have to renew each day you want to read NYT but is still great to have.

Having a gift link is even more convenient.


The irony of your comment is that tech workers want pay increases (amongst other things) and here we're talking about avoiding paying for their product.

NYT is a great publication and I'm happy to pay less than a $1 a day for tons of great content.


Nobody's talking about not paying.

We pay for the library, and the library pays for an access license. NYT gets paid.

Gift articles are sent by subscribers … who pay.


I sympathize with the workers, but NYT is no org I want to support again


Thanks for mentioning that! One of my libraries does a 3 day code. It looks reasonably insecure and scriptable to fetch since it is hard coded as a hidden element in the page that opens the NYT page upon successful login.


We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42040802. (Nothing wrong with your post, I just want to pin the parent to the top so people don't miss the links, and it's better not to consume extra real estate up there)


Appreciate the note!


Now that we switched to WaPo I've put it back :)


The current top comment includes this:

> I encourage everyone to respect the picket line and get your news elsewhere until the workers get a deal.

It would be nice if this could be replaced with a non-NYT link.


That is not what the union asked for.

The guild said it was asking readers to honor its digital picket line by not playing Times Games products, such as Wordle, and not using the Cooking app.
