If everyone else's archive is missing, my doctored archive becomes the only source of truth.

Good point. If anything, this is an argument for making multiple archives with multiple methods. Why only archive.is/today? When archive.org is censoring and archive.is/today shuts down one day (just 50 bucks a week over liberapay?), a third or forth reasonably trusted service for simultaneous use would help. If needed, one of them could be from communities.win or something.
