Digital subscribers have been consistently up since they started a digital subscription [0] but I meant actual readers since I think digital subscriptions earn less than historical subscribers and number of subscribers has a lot of variability of what price is paid.
I was thinking of their profit and revenue [1] that keeps trending down (although this year is up). That’s probably a better sign of actual readers over time, I think.

The NYT's subscription rates are way up since Trump was elected.

You already stated why they're seeing such success. "the result of readers who don’t appreciate a false reality being reported as truth."
