I prefer not to link to those, but I still think it’s important to link to the original source. Sometimes they’re the first to post about it and there’s not much way around it (until someone posts a link to an archive version that bypass the paywall, or someone provides an NYT gifted link, etc). So it’s either that or we lose the potential for discussion.
There’s a community for gifted link articles to NYT right there: !nyt_gift_articles@sopuli.xyz
Personally I stick to relatively legal IPTV playlists, such as https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv
Straight and to the point, no bullshit.
The only place where I struggle is finding the perfect player. On PC I use iptvnator and on Android I use IPTV Pro. They work well enough, but I wish I had a universal app that could carry the configuration between devices.
