I always say archive everything, even from ethical sources. The source being ethical only eliminates some of the problems that archiving solves. Of course if the source is ethical it's better to give a direct link and post the archive in the comments.

I'm always frustrated by people who know about archiving, but sometimes don't do it. Styx is a prime example. He'll archive almost everything, which is great, but then he'll just drop a link sometimes and state it's not archived because XYZ. No, archive it anyway. Drop the unarchived link as well if there's a reason (video, etc.), but you still archive it.
He doesn't forget though, he tells you why he didn't feel this instance "needed" archiving or whatever. The content is still live and archivable, and he's making a whole video about it.
Always be on the alert
Exactly my point. Better safe than sorry, archive everything even if you think it doesn't need it.
