The articles on NYT get paywalled after some time... So it's pretty useless to post them here without an archive link. I think the archive.is problem is with the ".is" domain and some DNS issue. It's recommended to share the http://archive.today/p3ZK7 link.

I think it's a tough balance: I personally want to support original content creators but to discourage anti-patterns like showing different versions to different consumers (other than for usability purposes): that helps make search less useful. Eg. there might be better content from a smaller producer, but a big one like NY Times will shadow it.

I do too, but after the text pops up and I start reading it, I'm in some kind of (non-paywall) photo album about the people involved, I haven't clicked on anything, I'm just trying to read.
