That is just so petty. People can still go to the NY Times easily. Just not via Twitter. What's the point? Pettiness. That's the point.

That’s you and me. That doesn’t apply to most people. I have rss feeds to follow what interests me. But Twitter for a lot of people is just that, a glorified rss reader. They follow some people, some news outlets and that’s it. The number of people who visit NYT organically is, in my assumption, less than 100k. I genuinely believe that services like Google News, Meta & Twitter is where NYT gets most of their clicks from.

The NYT has 8.6 million digital-only subscribers. Where's that "100k" coming from ?
