What's the point of posting a link to an article that a significant fraction of the public will not be able to read?
Wouldn't it be better to create a précis and post that instead?

I think archive.is still archives NYT as well but I'm not 100% confident on that.
I'm starting to feel like the people who complain about the poor quality of media and aggressive advertising are part of the problem by refusing to pay for content when it is offered to them in an up-front way. As if the entire world is entitled to open access to journalism. Or that paying for news hasn't been how publishers operated for hundreds of years.
I actually do not mind links I can't hit being posted here, where it shows the domain the link goes to. That's as good as a '[paywalled]' indicator.
I do really hate it elsewhere where you can't tell before hovering the link, and think they should be optionally excludable from search engine searches, or at the very least tagged as such - I'm did not search for "media subscription pages".
