A New York Times subscription is $80/year (for the first year, and all future years if you remember to cancel/resubscribe once a year).

If you're routinely triggering their metered paywall, maybe it's worth paying it. Not for everyone, obviously. But they do give basically all that money to writers, and they do quite often devote time and money to investigate serious issues, far more important than dishwasher physics.

I'd happily pay $0.50 per article à la carte.

Wow. If a lot of people concurred, MSM would be back in business BIG TIME!

You do realize that they offer an annual subscription at $80/year? I assume many readers are paying well less than $0.50/article with that. I'd be more than happy to reward good content, even if I pay more each year.

I "triggering" their paywall because I was checking HN. And also, "serious issues" is relative.
