"The reason is the staff at the NYT appear to be very well versed in the technical tricks people use to gain access."

It appears anyone can read any new NYT article in the Internet Archive. I use a text-only browser. I am not using Javascript. I do not send a User-Agent header. Don't take my word for it. Here is an example:

If I am not mistaken the NYT recently had their entire private Github repository, a very large one, made public without their consent. This despite the staff at the NYT being "well-versed" in whatever it is the HN commenter thinks they are well versed in.
