I'm a decade long subscriber to NY Times and find their monetization efforts around regular recipes featured in their daily "paper" quite maddening. When you go to access a recipe featured in the regular coverage (I'm a paid subscriber) an AD for the NYT Cooking App pops up and you cannot access the recipe. I don't need access to the full NYT Cooking recipe database and articles, I just want access to the recipes pushed outward in the regular newspaper coverage of FOOD. Interestingly, the NYTimes themselves differentiate between FOOD and COOKING content, but they reach for more money into my pocket for content that should be available to me as a longtime paying subscriber. Piggy behavior and I'm calling it out.
