While that seems intiutive that NYT is being sidestepped by free sources, they are in fact doing very well as a business and reporting record profits. They have no debt, in fact through cash on hand and lines of credit they have access to over a billion dollars. They bought out their headquarters in midtown manhattan. Their stock price is near all time highs.

People pay for quality. It's why people still pay for services like HBO instead of watching free content on youtube.

That's only for digital which is well expected to grow. They still have to catch up to their historical revenue.
