    Wah wah wah, my stuff’s been preserved and I dont like it.

    Not to mention that I lose control over what’s done with that content – are they going to let Google train AI on it with their new partnership?

    Lmao you think Google needs to go through Archive to scrape your site? Delusional.

    Not to mention that I’m losing advertising revenue if someone views the site in an archive.

    The mechanisms used to serve ads over the internet nowadays are nasty in a privacy sense, and a psychological manipulation sense. And you want people to be affected by them just to line your pockets? Are you also opposed to ad blockers by any chance?

    I have fewer problems with archiving if the original site is gone, but to mirror and republish active content with no supported way to prevent it short of legal action is ridiculous.

    And how do you suggest a site which has been wiped off the face of the internet gets archived? Maybe we need to invest in a time machine for the Internet Archive?

    Sites like Wikipedia were archiving urls and then linking to the archive, effectively removing branding and blocking user engagement.

    What do you mean by “engagement”, exactly? Clicking on ads?
