Fuck the archive service. Due to some pissing contest they block Brave browser.

I don't believe that archive.today currently deserves my support due to whole Brave issue, plus blocking convenient python tools such as maturban/archivenow and pastpages/archiveis. I thank them for their service so far but I eagerly await a substitute.

I'm not giving them any monetary support until they end their BS with Brave browser users. If they feel ripped off, take it to fucking court.

Do not support archive.org. It is an extention of the left, with all or nearly all of their C-level being compromised in some way.

Alexis Rossi Director of Media & Access Alexis has been working with the Internet Archive since our first service, the Wayback Machine, was launched in 2001.

Alexis has an MLIS, concentrating on web technologies and interfaces, and enjoys making jewelry, dancing, and baking Cookie Smackdown-winning cookies.

This is the just the information I found out just going to their bio page. Some of the organizations mentioned that are not bolded might also be leftist orgs. There is probably much more if you comb over their personal blogs and twitters.

Archive has always been compromised. NBC was never going to allow the Archive to expose their lies.

u/TheImpossible1, do note, Alexis Rossi, Wendy Hanamura, and Joy Chesborough.

Sino (and leftist) Delenda Est

Liberapay's still up? I seem to remember it was shutting down so I dumped my Liberapay wallet contents into the archive service as a one-off payment.

Fuck them
