>about the paywall workarounds that are frequent on HN—I was genuinely shocked to learn they hadn’t heard about it.
Is the Internet Archive regularly used as a paywall workaround? Generally it's archive.is, which has no connection to the IA.
It’s certainly not as common as archive.is, but I’ve seen it done on HN. I even commented at one point something to the effect of “this seems like a great way to get news sites to block the Internet Archive”…
That's not the point.
Huh? IA not doing what they claim seems fairly important to their point.
Yes, he got that wrong. The IA doesn't remove paywalls.
