Yeah the gift link doesn't work for me. it gives the first few paragraphs of the article and stops. I didn't feel like diagnosing it and in this case the headline was clickbait, so i went and pasted the spoiler from a web search.

The common causes of that are:

  • Device needs reboot
  • You've disabled javascript
  • You're running a browser extension which removes the gift token from the URL

I'm guessing it's the disabled javascript; the Boston Globe has a paywall for anybody who has it enabled.

I don't really care about it that much. I can usually see enough of the NYT article to tell whether it's interesting, and then use a paywall bypass if i want to read it. Or in this case I just did a web search and found the Boston Globe article.
