Do you think Google is worried about a link exodus if something happens to the Internet Archive (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447758 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447758)? I started maintaining a blog and a corresponding link log in 2019, and I've already seen links disappearing, relying on the Wayback Machine for them. I've found scanned versions of obscure magazines and research papers on the IA that are impossible to find anywhere else on the web. If they do end up shutting down, I am worried that the exodus is going to be real. I'm not sure what the contingency plan is.
