Not sure if this site is worth supporting with clicks, so here's an archive in case they're not: https://archive.is/wip/nH64k
TPM is on our side.
Thanks.
Always use the archive regardless. The purpose of providing the archive link is not to deny clicks, it is to preserve the article.
I use it for this purpose 99% of the time
Depends on where it is. Most of the time in KiA, archiving has been used to deny clicks while providing a reliable proof that isn't simply an image that could be faked.
Preservation is also an important element, but I find it's secondary in certain circles.
No.
Preservation has always been the reason to archive because from the very start this has been about dealing with dishonest media who are prone to retroactively erasing their misdeeds.
That's why there's been a whitelist and greylist of sites that doesn't or does require archiving over on halfKiA.
If it was purely about preservation, there'd simply be a bot in the chat that automatically archived all links (like they used to have years ago for the chat comments), not just those that are socjus aligned. Almost like it was about preventing sites like Kotaku and Polygon from getting clicks.
Preservation was and is important, so don't get me wrong as this isn't a black and white binary situation. There can be more than one reason, and it's not mutually exclusive from one another.
Thanks.
