I think whether or not there is a paywall depends on the reader. There was a paywall for me, which is why I liked to archive, as a service to others.
Have a nice day.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoAh you may be right about that the paywall. There was none for me, only a “call to action”. I understand why people use those links, but given we’re in a technical forum it probably stands that people know how to leverage those services themselves.
- ttonkytonk 5y agoI could not have read the article without the provided link. At least I'm assuming I could not - I didn't want to risk using the data (the link took only one mb).
- 52-6F-62 5y agoI thought it was clear I wasn't judging anyone's personal use of archive.is or any other internet archive or slimmed-down reader-view—just remarking on the sharing of those links on a professional forum. The widespread sharing of those links shows a pretty great lack of regard for the work on the other end. It's highlighted when it's the only top-level comment on a submission on a forum like HN.
