Wondering if it is shown how much dropoff has been happening. Maybe in the next 10-K. Last year I read the whole thing and I'll do it again in 2025.

Nope.

I read not too long ago that people spend more time on Wordle and the other games than on the Times's written content. They've been smart about keeping an audience, but it must be depressing to Times people who care about informing the public.

Me too, until mid-December. Letting it go feels better than I expected. I didn't feel its news reporting was reliable, except for the in-depth investigations that they've done so well. And I'm happy to use other sources of news and information.

Counting on you to report said bundles so I don’t accidentally give NYT another dime, ever.
