Why just be evil, when you can be evil AND stupid?
What fresh hell is this?
You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you’re a robot.
Didn’t even give me a CAPTCHA or anything, and I’m the only one who uses this IP address.
Maybe they’ve been spying on me and are punishing me for pointing out their copaganda, apartheid/genocide apologia, and other disinformation? 🙄

It’s not the NYT blocking you directly. They use a third party tool for detecting bots. It’s possible your IP address isn’t just used by you, but it’s also possible your device has a set of fingerprints that is setting off detections. Without knowing your IP address I can’t tell you more.
Are you using a VPN? Change the server, it usually helps.
I’m not, no.
