The site commits copyright infringement by showing you content it doesn't have the rights for. This is not the kind of site to go on about morals for.
>the site has a bad reputation
Not compared to archive.org. archive.is has a much better track record.
I'm not sure whether you're making a joke or confusing the two websites.
You’re just not at all familiar with the subject.
Archive.org is awful. It allows site owners and random third parties to edit old archived pages.
Archive.today does not.
Is it that much better that Archive.today reserves the right to edit old archived pages for the owner whenever they have a petty grudge with someone?
At least site owners have the copyright on the pages that Archive.org saves. They can just get the content pulled through DMCA anyway.

Not true

Also not true. However, Archive.today edits archived pages itself.

Folks keep saying this
Do you actually mean edit or do you just mean delete
Both are problematic, but falsifying a historic record is orders of magnitude worse than deleting one, and conflating them would be extremely dishonest
