I've criticized the NYT and paywalls many times myself, but first of all OpenAI itself has all your data and we know how "delete" functions work in other places.
The Twitter users quoted by Ars Technica, who cite "boomer copyright concerns" are pretty short sighted. The NYT and other mainstream sources, with all their flaws, provide the historical record that pundits can use to discuss issues.
Glenn Greenwald can only point out inconsistencies of the NYT because the NYT exists. It is often the starting point for discussions.
Some YouTube channels like the Grayzone and Breaking Points send reporters directly to press conferences etc. But that is still not the norm and important information should not be stored in a disorganized YouTube soup.
So papers like the NYT need to survive for democracy to function.
