The whole point of a news aggregator is to make it easy to find and consume content. It's bad form to link to content that a large chunk of their audience can't easily read, and by "easily" I mean "click the link". I get that the NYT has some worthwhile content that doesn't exist elsewhere, but paywalled links on HN should be clearly marked at the very least.
