Yeah, it's a silly OCD thing I was thinking about once (redundantly making several archived versions of a website because I don't like wasting space, etc.)
I honestly wonder how those websites that archive get around the legal issues that could arise, and the possible copyright stuff.

I'll admit that unless changes are occurring live, I do find the day 1 mass redundant archives to be a little wasteful and cluttering from a research, "which of these will actually help me?" perspective, but if there's even a day between the archives I really appreciate them. Once I was looking for archives of a long-dead website, which only exists on archive.is as indirect archives of the wayback machine, so they all have the same content. The archive on the wayback machine was* taken down though, so I found the extra archive.is copies interesting because they slightly narrowed down the timeframe in which the deletion occurred. (*Its back-ish now, so maybe it was a bug? The experience still taught me that different timestamps can potentially be useful, even if I don't expect them to be at the time).
I will consider the space side of things too though, and maybe start giving myself a minimum timeframe between the previous copy of a page and any new copies I create.
