I love that folks use these archive.org links like this one here:
How are they finding these or making them? Let’s say I’m reading NYTimes or something, what do I do to link to the same article but archived?
You must log in or # to comment.
Just open the main page of archive.org and paste the URL into the search field, and you’ll see all the copies they have archived.
To add; if it hasn’t been saved yet you’ll be given an option to archive the entry itself. It takes a bit of time, but well worth it!
How many more steps is it to archive it?
Just a click to initiate, no need to have an account or anything. I’d suggest grabbing the url of any recent article and give it a spin.
I use the browser extensions for convenience: https://web.archive.org/
