Did you read the article? It's right in the article:

> The New York Times uses such tests to assess the wording of headlines and to make decisions about the products and features the company releases.

I read it on Saturday, and it hadn't mentioned it then:

Looks like they realized they got caught and updated it. TBH, I could 100% believe that the reporter and editor had no idea the NYT did it themselves, because anyone would be clued in enough to understand that wouldn't have written the article in the first place.
