Get Around the New York Times Quota with this NYT Firehose Twitter List

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

One of the simplest loopholes in the New York Times' upcoming 20-story paywall restriction is that "readers who come to Times articles through links from search, blogs and social media like Facebook and Twitter will be able to read those articles, even if they have reached their monthly reading limit." To take advantage of the "from Twitter" aspect, Twitter user @FreeNYT has created this NYT firehose list. It aggregates official NYT Twitter accounts into one list, and all the links therein become freebies under the new system.

Simply follow that list and use it for your New York Times fix. It's not a perfect workaround, but it's also not bad. Frankly, you'll likely see even better solutions by the time the Times rolls out the switch in the US on March 28.
