disallowing archived versions of paywalled articles

Really? I can’t stand paywalled articles especially on sites where sharing the article (here, on Lemmy) is the main point of it all.

I always link to an archive.ph or archive.org version because not only does it help bypass all that crap but it also preserves it for future generations.

This platform is for all of us, not just those who can afford WaPo or The New York Times subscriptions.
