I wrote myself an extension to bypass all youtube adverts and used it for years. I'm perfectly capable of evading NYT garbage once the fury exceeds the lazyness. Still the issue remains. I'm not the only one bothered by paywalled links in search results, being linked from websites and suggested in feeds of mobile apps. Checkbox to filter them out was requested long time ago. Never implemented.
The issue isn't the Times, since you've admitted that you have a way to avoid them, and other people have suggested solutions.
The actual issue is that you enjoy being angry and expressing that anger in front of strangers on the internet, as if that somehow validates your anger, or makes you feel good, or gives you some other kind of reward for grinding your personal axe.
This is destructive behavior. I recommend introspection. Failing that, seek professional help.
Sure, that too. I just like fierce discussions about irrelevant, unchangeable things and they are easiest to find in the company of people with bland, mainstream opinions. Somehow they always try to defend them vehemently.
I have plenty of introspection. I know exactly what I am doing and why.
