Not surprising, sites like Reddit use it to get around their paywalls.
Redditors then had the gall to pretend like it wasn’t their number one use case.

I see archive.is / archive.today used a lot more for that.
First of all it's a lot faster than archive.org, second of all they are much better at bypassing the paywalls. In some cases the operator even seems to have taken up a subscription or at least a user account (in some cases you could see there is a user logged in). They're really clever at this.
For this site the main purpose is indeed the bypass. For the internet archive it's not.
And yeah it could easily be fixed by just publishing the pages a month later or so.
