Posting NYT deals on OzBargain always bring some level of controversy - See https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/nytimes.com

Personally, I agree with @mskeggs

NYT carries a lot of unique reporting, and like it or not, have a big mindshare among powerful people.
You can say “I would never read it” and be clueless about what is going on.
It would be the same as me pretending Newscorp doesn’t have enormous influence. I don’t agree with lots they say, but I keep an eye on what they are pushing so I know what is going on.
Or I suppose you can get your news regurgitated on youtube like a baby bird, regardless of your politics, getting twice-digested information isn’t getting you any closer to the truth.

I'll leave the voting guidelines here, so feel free to vote on the deal as you please: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

Regardless, this is genuinely a great deal even for people who just wants to access the Athletic or Wirecutter or their very impressive catalogue of recipes.

Also, I can confirm that you can cancel straightaway and the subscription will continue until the end of the billing period (in 1 year's time), otherwise you will be charged A$180 per year.

No clue on when this ends, but I would suspect it might be associated with Black Friday.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2023

    It also includes their puzzles. Wordle is always free, but some of the others are limited without a subscription.

      The Wordle analysis alone is worth this if you play daily, fascinating stuff.

      • Craze on 25/11/2023 - 22:11

        Wait, there's Wordle analysis??

        • Pusheencat on 25/11/2023 - 23:37

          Commentary on competitive Wordle. Pros playing on Twitch. $1000000 prize pool tourneys. Crossover events.

          Move over, chessboxing. Wordleboxing here we goooooo

        • Mr BoMBAStiG on 26/11/2023 - 06:06

          When you finish, click on the Wordlebot link

        • DevonBlaze on 26/11/2023 - 11:31

          P.S.A: For anyone who wants access to wordlebot without subscription, just activate private dns: dns.adguard.com

  • Mr BoMBAStiG on 25/11/2023 - 06:41

    Can I buy this and share the login with many people?

  • smurfinaus on 25/11/2023 - 07:35

    Anyone confirm its easy to cancel? Read somewhere its a pain to do it…

        Thanks for confirmation. Me signing up :D

      If you can't read the description at the top, might not be much point subbing to a full newspaper…

        Ah yes, the "can't see things are jokes unless it's spelled out explicitly because … reasons" geniuses have arrived…

    Hot tip, when you cancel your subscription give the reason as too expensive. It will let you continue the subscription at $20/year.

      How did you cancel? It's asking me to speak to a chatbot or call them. No direct cancel option in the account?

    • CheapCoffee on 25/11/2023 - 14:55

      Hmmmm I just tried this, and it gives me $20 every year wording but the fine print still says $180 after you "accept" the offer. Is that just me?

      • zbc on 25/11/2023 - 15:05

        Yep, same.

      • kgb007 on 25/11/2023 - 16:26

        Went to cancel, offered $20 for subsequent years with fine print saying $180. Accepted the offer and says $20 will be billed every year.

        • CheapCoffee on 25/11/2023 - 19:31

          Ah thanks, unfortunately it didn't work for me - I accepted the offer and it remained as "$20 first year" under my subscription section. Perhaps it's because I had to reinstate my payment cycle before I tried to cancel again. I'll see what happens next year I guess.

        • zbc on 25/11/2023 - 22:44

          Did not work for me either. After a few time faffing around, decided to cancel for real to not take any chance with it

  • casualusercts on 25/11/2023 - 08:27

    $20 for The Athletic alone would be a deal. Jumped on this one.

    • randomness on 25/11/2023 - 10:47

      It’s a bit of a hassle, but you can get around The Athletic blocker by viewing articles in reading mode in the browser. However, subscription is good for access to ad free podcasts from the network.

  • aeiss on 25/11/2023 - 10:56

    I'm seeing $50, anyone else?

    • 08phamann on 25/11/2023 - 10:58

      Same.

    • creamandpaper on 25/11/2023 - 11:07

      just clicked and see $20 /year AUD. maybe change browser or try via phone/pc?

        Thanks, that worked. I was using Chrome on mobile and after switching to google it showed $20.

  • punkfans on 25/11/2023 - 12:28

    Subscribed, thanks.
    Then I realised you still can only play one wordl game everyday…

  • branners on 25/11/2023 - 13:40

    Have had a Times sub in the household for years. Even if you are not into US politics, there is a lot of content to enjoy.
    The Athletic is worth it as a stand-alone website. Lots of good reading and you can customise your content to the sports and teams you follow

    • CheapCoffee on 25/11/2023 - 14:06
      +1

      Yeah, I follow a few sports and I was looking for a subscription for the Athletic because I genuinely like listening to their podcasts and original content.

      Crafton's expose on Manchester United recently was noteworthy for example.

      NYT subscription is a bonus for me to be honest!

  • serpserpserp on 25/11/2023 - 14:48

    I actually really enjoy the NYT Cooking Youtube content. The website is kind of needed if you want to follow through on cooking some things.

  • v7dal on 25/11/2023 - 14:52

    I have been wanting this forever! Thanks heaps!

    Anyway to avoid ads in the app?? I paid for the subscription

  • Bunnyburger on 25/11/2023 - 15:09

    I've heard of the extensions to bypass the paywalls to read the articles, would this subscription offer me anything beyond that?

    • Droz on 25/11/2023 - 19:59

      a lot of those extensions and sites don't seem to work with the NYT anymore - for instance, 12ft.io

    • Imnuts7 on 25/11/2023 - 22:32

      Just Google bypass paywalls (clean). Still working for me

      • prhino on 26/11/2023 - 15:36

        Thanks. I normally like to may for my media consumption, but not when it's News Corp

        • mickeyjuiceman on 26/11/2023 - 16:40

          NYT is News Corp now? Wut?

            @mickeyjuiceman: No, I'm paying for NYT. But happy to use an extension to bypass News Corp paywalls. Sorry, I realise my comment was completely unclear.

  • edisonAU on 25/11/2023 - 20:16

    The Athletic alone is worth the $20AUD per year. Everything else is a bonus.

  • cbrbargainer on 25/11/2023 - 22:04

    Have had the $50/yr All Access for years. At $20 this is a steal!

  • emresound on 25/11/2023 - 23:33

    Thanks for that deal. My Athletic subscription was coming to an end and I have wanted to try the New York Times for information (as I read their headlines). Double whammy.

  • starburstyellow on 26/11/2023 - 00:35

    Just need something like this for Japan Times

  • snappy1234 on 26/11/2023 - 05:53

    Good find !

    Have been paying $2 a month

    Just to keep up over there as have family members working in NY.

  • ocular on 26/11/2023 - 19:32

    Would it be right wing enough for me? I voted no.

  • arrowroot on 27/11/2023 - 14:14

    Thank you OP! I got this over the weekend it is excellent value.
