As I said: the message is rather inarticulate, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

But, although in general I dislike subscription models, they do make sense for newspapers. If they were to switch to "pay per article", it won't be long before the bean counters step in and turn the focus of the paper on social outrage and Kim Kardashian. It has the inherent danger of turning the NY Times into Buzzfeed.

And just in case someone is going to claim that Buzzfeed has serious news: the two are incomparable. Buzzfeed News' frontpage right now is literally Kanye, Kim, and Trump. Ukraine? Too far away. Sunak? Who's that?
