    People use Archive links to avoid giving sites traffic.

    This is a problem for advertisers and media corps.

    Not saying they’re the ones doing this, but they’d definitely benefit.

      I’ve enjoyed using Wayback Machine on journalistic articles where they try to retcon information, but the original copy had already been captured. The Ministry of Truth hates archive.org.

      Someone else looked to the group claiming responsibility for this. It’s a pro-Palestinian Russian group

      Why is this a problem, how would it affect real availability of ads? Except maybe tracking users.

        Without tracking they don’t have metrics for their ads, which effects reports and pricing. They really want to know if someone looks at an ad.

          It’s funny how these people feel like cockroaches.
