The NY Times paywall has got to be one of the easiest paywalls to bypass. You can either browse its site in private/incognito mode (or using Firefox Focus on mobile), delete a cookie, or disable Javascript on their site (though this isn't ideal when viewing some of their interactive pieces). I wonder if this is a deliberate compromise to ensure that nobody is ever really locked out of their content.

Subject to change at any time of course. I used to enjoy the occasional article from WSJ, now I just get annoyed when I see one of their headlines because I know I can't read the article.
