This seems like it could be the work of someone who doesn't want their webpage data being scraped and stolen by AI LLMs, that are using archive.org as some kind of method for bypassing paywalls.

Damn. I guess this is why we can't have nice things.
I guess I'll take this opportunity mention if one cannot make a monetary donation to IA. You can always help them out by help seed some of their torrents. I'd appreciate it at least :P
I tried to seed the torrents but I never found anything that needed seeds, most users download via browser
Odd. I'm able to listen to music there still
Reddit also has vote fuzzing where you can get the number of votes, but it's always manipulated for some reason.
I don't understand the point, and tbh it's a serious case of social media mind fuckery. It's a real problem for anyone who creates an incredibly specific subreddit for use by a group and then everyone is left wondering who keeps downvoting them. That can have real life consequences for anyone who doesn't understand what is happening.

The stated reason is to prevent abuses like "piling on".
The attack on the few remaining services that the "every person" openly benefits from is so disheartening.
Not the save structure for org, but this feeling made be remember The Consumerist in it's heyday and when it was bought and silenced effectively... you know kids, the internet used to be a thing that actually helped and supported us without the ready acceptance of 51% "hallucinations" in information. It was actual people, in small, quiet corners, that didn't demand subscriptions and micro transactions at every turn. It wasn't that long ago.
Used to be, "the tragedy of the commons" didn't quite so literally mean an attack on the common resources.
It has time on its side.
The Internet Archive is so important. The closest thing to a digital library.
How am I supposed to know what jcctv.net looked like back in 2011 now?
Thanks a lot, Department of Erasing History. I hate you now.
(And yes, that is indeed a real website... well, it WAS a real website)
Donated!
Department of Erasing History.
Sounds like a group of pedophiles.
the internet archive is a very useful tool for countering the "official story" whenever the powers that be are lying.
If you're able, I hope you donate to the internet archive. There's a lot of horrible people from all over youtube that like to erase their old videos to help control their own narrative.
Is it a tutorial of how to be a jerk?
