When the pop up comes telling you that you must pay, close your browser, reopen it, go to preferences and delete the cookies and keep on reading.

This is a stupid move. There are so many good sources of news on the web that are FREE, the NY Times is just cutting off more of its readers and its problems with falling revenues will only get worse.

plus its not as good a paper as it used to be...sucking up to the far right isn't exactly fair and balanced journalism

I don't read the NY Times, but will steer clear of it from 2011 anyway. Thanks for the heads-up JT.

go ahead, join the loser like the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong. Haven't back to that site for years.............and they still send me junk mail to try to get me to subscribe.

The first step into oblivion. Or bankruptcy.

Rupert Murdoch should pay people to read the crap he prints (and broadcasts).

My take on web subscriptions is far more positive than the comments made here. Subscriptions through the web is far more economical than having it delivered or purchasing it from the newstand. If memory serves me correctly, WSJ and USA Today runs about 700 yen ($7.00) at the newstands in Japan. I am now a subscriber to the WSJ at $2.80 per week which is far more reasonable than buying it from the newstand for $2.00 here in the U.S. Businessweek and The Economist run for 1200 yen or $12.00 in Japan as well. If I were an ex-pat living in Japan, I would subscribe to all the U.S. media (WSJ and Businessweek) on the web I would want to read ASAP. That $7.00 and $12.00 per issue in Japan is totally ridiculous.

I used to read their food section for good venues in Manhattan. But none of the other stuff. 90% of the pages were ads.

Search engines need to show a red flag when any site is a paysite. So much for benefiting from hits.

Just remove the website, then. Why keep it?

Seriously.. all these news agencies think people have no idea of what is going on until they tune in to their channels, websites, etc...
