She's a popular Substacker and left the NYT in a wave of journalists starting lucrative Substacks. I'm sure the NYT Slack was quite inhospitable to her (she's a troll, and they're snowflakey), but she wasn't forced out of the NYT; she was lured out. Either way: good riddance. Just because a bunch of irritating snowflakes got what they wanted doesn't, by itself, make an outcome bad.
