Actually, you can again. At least in Safari with Wipr installed. They're doing an overlay at the bottom of the window instead of just blocking the whole thing.

Reader mode in Firefox will remove the subscribe banner and show the article.

I find I have to press the reader mode button quickly. It seems to load the entire article, then Javascript moves/deletes most of the article so reader mode can no longer see it after a short segment.

Open dev tools, clear all storage and cookies for the site.

NYT tries to detect private browsing mode but they need to use client-side data to track whether you've already read your free article.

Note that in the US this information may violate the DMCA. But on the other hand their behavior violates the GDPR in Europe so fair's fair.
