If the internet goes the way people fear, then one day we may all lose access to such things.

They're already targeting Archive for copyright (it's a claim that technically has merit). If the Internet goes that way:

First, your Archive links will literally all be gone.

Second, you're going to have no way to share it with anyone.

And third, as much as it sucks to hear, it doesn't make a single difference what you have and never will. I've seen gun owning conservatives lurch from tyrannical overreach to tyrannical overreach and never once did they do shit so what good does some storage of obsolete articles matter to anyone? Half the trash people here archive is retarded meme tweets which nobody needs to save.

And really at any rate, archive it for yourself.

But why punish us with these shitty links?

Archive is trash. The websites are frequently broken and barely readable. Links don't work. Media often gets lost because they're delivered through a CDN that doesn't get archived with the rest of the page.

And worst of all it obfuscates what you're sending me to. I don't want to have to click an archive link to read an "article" on a website called 911PATRIOTTRUEHEALTHNEWS.biz.

#3 is the main point. It's a sort of ritual to feel you have control but it's like a cargo cult.

And really at any rate, archive it.
