It's at least neat to see they're considering the possibility of adding Internet Archive links to replace the cache ones, but as Jason Scott said on Mastodon earlier, that could end up overloading the Archive even more than usual given how much traffic Google gets. Regardless, it's a shame to see it go, and I'm very skeptical of the official reasoning for it too. Yeah, they decided to remove it because pages are less likely to go down now? Really? > But it was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn't depend on a page loading. These days, things have greatly improved. Hmm, I really doubt it. Feels more like someone at Google wanted to save resources or improve metrics.
