I don't buy this, there must be some false positive rate in some of these sites. I've been told that I've viewed too many articles on sites I've never visited before.

It's happened at home too where I live alone and have not seen my IP address change in a very long time.

I was specifically talking about NYT, not other sites.

I responded the way I did because it’s a common (annoying) trope for people to complain about paywalls in one breath, then in another breath complain about ads/tracking/lack of independent journalism.
