I’d rather the real website be linked so I can easily open it in Apple News (which I pay for). And the archive pages have captchas that don’t work on VPN.

But regardless, it shouldn’t be the job of the poster to satisfy everyone’s little requirement: use extensions or whatever is available on your platform. Why is it the job of the person posting to meet your specific preferences?

    I'm so happy you have the privilege and are concerned about those who don't.

    Are you fucking joking? Look at me the millionaire to afford Apple’s ~$10 per month. Get over yourself.

    The actual point was that you should configure your device to open it however you’d like whether that’s opening in Apple News or redirecting to an archive website instead of bitching about people not linking to (worse) archival websites known for VPN blocking and launching DoS attacks.

    Serious question: do you think everyone can do that?

    Edit: that site is not worse. It's never increased my traffic, never causes adverse effects.
