If you think they do a good job, then I think it's worth the subscription. If you just dislike NYT in general then why are you complaining you can't read it?
If HN is free, and its all LINKS -- then dont link to content which is non-free. Simple.
EDIT: Jeasus Christ. HN is a _GLOBAL_ audience. Do you honestly think that people outside the US are interested in paying the NYT for a few articles that may get posted to HN?
Dont link to paywalls, period. If people ARE PAYING FOR IT then they already have access to said content? Why is this even a discussion.
It's the worst of all angles. It's like junk food, the cheap and the easy wins to the detriment of all.
