It also doesn't make you clear all cookies, which logs you out of all websites you're normally logged in):

1. In Chrome, go to the Chrome store and install the Edit This Cookie extension.
2. Read some NYT articles, get annoyed at the "Pay up or else" banner.
3. Click the cookie button in the Chrome bar, you get a menu of NYT cookies.
4. Click on the "nyt-m" cookie, then on "Flag this cookie"; it will disappear from the list.
5. Read on & spread the word if it worked for you.

Ten bucks says he's got his New Yorker subscription on autopay.

Journalists are like anyone else-- they'll pay for news that flatters their self-image.

Even a journalist won't pay for journalism. Astonishing.

There's no way to read second-hand online content, but I guess as long as someone, somewhere pays for it, I can convince myself I'm just reading their leftover edition.

Right...? Right...?

The L.A. Times is probably the toughest paywall to crack. (Also the content I'm least likely to pay for.) But here's a hint: they aren't using their own cookie. They partnered with a larger entity to piggyback the paywall on the other company's cookie. It's a cookie most folks do not want to delete.
