NYT is pretty obnoxious in other ways, though, especially with a touchscreen. If you click and drag to highlight something, it navigates to a different article. If you double-click to select a word, it changes the text size. If you accidentally hit the left or right arrow key while trying to scroll up or down, it again tries to load the next article.

And it's not possible to select text at all on Mobile.

I've taken to using alternative links (archive.is, archive.org, outline.com) for sharing the articles simply because it's too much of a PITA to manage the NYTimes.com page itself.
