Um. You mean the same site that uses its captcha page to DDOS sites the owner doesn't agree with, and was banned from use on Wikipedia because the owner was modifying the archived pages?
It was super easy to donate; Im so glad they have a landing page that supports several payment methods and makes it easy to donate. I love the wayback machine, hope everyone pitches in : ).
I do like the Internet Archive but I wish I could retrieve large segments from it myself. It has very aggressive 429s. It would be a nice higher donor tier feature. Maybe it’s not possible to do so and retain 501c3 status? Regardless I have had to start performing personal datahoarding. C’est la vie.

It does seem weird to rattle the donation box because hosting costs are going up while shooting money at the prime cause of hosting costs going up.
It's annoying how often archive.org blocks sites but they both complement each other very well.

When finding archive.today's Monero donation address just now, I had to use archive.org because donatemonero.org [1] is down.

I don't think we should be supporting this random guy, no.
Everyone wants to scrape and extract from them 100% for free.
Shut ClimateGPT down, apologize and then we can talk about donation.
