I don't quite follow your thought process but admire your vociferousness.
In this case I got this link from a newsletter, who presumably have a deal with NYT in that from time to time they are able to offer a special "back door" through the NYT paywall. NYT expects this will increase their paid audience, and the newsletter gets valuable content to increase their own value to their readers so a win-win for them both.
This particular article doesn't render properly through the parent archival site's link, but it does though the link I provided.
Wishing you luck in your crusade against paywalls! Personally I find them annoying but don't see how I can legitimately have an issue with them, it seems like simple capitalism at work.
