Although the NY Times merits an exception to my 'no registration'* policy, I will not be linking to subscription-based articles. Nor will I be reading them. Nor do I think they should show up in Google search results if all you're presented is a paragraph and a paywall (but, you know, money changes hands, the listings appear...). Anyhow, I'm sure they'll get some subscribers - mainly other journalists who depend on the Times for stuff to copy or who are paying just to try to make paywalls work. But not enough to save the ship. (*) I do not link to any sites that require that you register before you can read an article. The one and only exception to that policy over the years has been the New York Times.
