I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

the implications of "every local newspaper closed, but the Times is thriving" seems really, really lost on folks who don't understand networks.

I think it helps to elevate LA Times, Houston Chron, that tier of news much more often, especially to point up that there's nothing inevitable about the NYT's judgment. (This is absolutely not a statement about NYC.) bsky.app/profile/sjjp...
I subscribed to the LA Times to try to support local journalism and avoid the NY Times and the online website was so aggresively bad it was basically un-usable.
I wish these sites had clean RSS feeds for subscribers. I understand why their sites are not great, just give me a better option if I’m willing to pay.
