The problem is clear but the solutions presented don't seem to help all that much.
This is why I hope for a future with content-based addressing, as used in bittorrent and IPFS.
Bittorrent has its focus set on files, and IPFS is becoming a bit convoluted but the core idea is very powerful.
Immutable content persists by "pinning". And even if the author no longer wants to maintain the resource, there are likely some "users" that will (eg. linked pages). And even if there is little interest from users there are still archiving services that might want to keep it. Persistent unless it's so vile or irrelevant that even archiving services ditch it.
All addressable by the same content hash.
