   I feel like archive.today is as important as webarchive is. Not only for uptime redundancy, but also redundancy in what they capture.

      The Internet Archive is a non-profit we can trace back to real people, while archive.today is owned by who-knows-who and they have engaged in DDoS attacks and tampering with archives. They have revealed themselves untrustworthy.

         IA doesn’t bypass paywalls when archiving, so it’s the only option we have for that, imperfect as it is.

            Regardless, they are not “as important” and you should exercise caution. In addition, they are not the only option, there is also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unwall.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unwall.app.

               Unwall looks nice, and I hope they stick around. There’s been a number of these paywall bypass apps over the years, but only archive.is has survived over time.
