NYT is $4 per month, and you can then share gift links.
Why should journalism be free? Is $4 not an appropriate price for real journalism? If not, then what?
Your library if it's in the US also likely maintains access to NYT archives.

Not every newspaper offers the option to share gift links. Besides, it's unrealistic to subscribe to every single newspaper. I have 2 regular newspapers that I read every day, and other than that, I'm usually interested in just 2 or 3 articles from other papers. I can't subscribe to 50 different newspapers a month. Besides, the articles that could be archived using archive.today is all content that was once available online without a paywall. If a site posts an article that’s publicly accessible, people should be allowed to archive it. If they later add a paywall or use some weird cookie mechanisms to annoy people it's their problem. If they don’t want it to be archived, they have to put it behind a login wall.
Because that's not what NYT says the price is. They say it's over $30 after the intro period.
