The filter cooking.nytimes.com##[class^="nytc---modal-window"] causes the problem. For now, I am removing it as it causes site breakage, but removing it makes it so people who do not login cannot access the recipe. If possible, we need a solution that blocks the initial modal but still lets people log when they click the login button.

Just be careful not to block the cookie popup.
If there are any videos at those cooking pages, people might not be able to watch them, unless the cookie consent has been accepted!
Other forms of breakage might also occur.

I've reported this issue to ryanbr here:
https://github.com/ryanbr/fanboy-adblock/issues/483/
He added an exception rule for this domain a couple of days ago.
..but unfortunately, there's still one problem rule in his filters which hasn't been dealt with yet!

PS:
Like with so many other examples of these GDPR issues, this one also seems to be location dependent.

I blocked all the modals, to get to what lies beneath..
Even when the cookie consent is blocked, I'm happy to report that all of the videos that I found seems to play just fine! :)
But of course, you can never be sure when it comes to this stuff, as there might be regional differences involved.

It was working flawlessly, but for some reason the filters for this specific page/recipe aren't working.
