You're kidding right?

The Times is nothing but poorly researched clickbait or got take opinion columns preying to the bosses of its readership.

I think you can find high quality paywall content (the FT for example), but yeesh, those are very, very bad examples.

> poorly researched clickbait or got take opinion columns

Sounds more like the Guardian than the Times. Why would the Times need to publish clickbait? Its articles are behind a paywall and it doesn't have advertising?

It certainly does have advertising - it's comment is written for the print version, and readers can still read two articles a month (with advertising) without subscribing.

It has the ill researched bigotry from the likes of Janice Turner whipping up populist hatred of sexual minorities, and a series of impossibly bad technology reporting echoing the lobby lines of the current government based on nothing more than a vendetta against online companies for business reasons.
