DONT USE ARCHIVERS on non-ad laden sites! (I see no ads, none on my (the OP) link.

That redundant submission is the problem of archive sites; they diminish ability to let voat know if a subverse such as v/News already got a link submission hours earlier.

The second problem with archivers is typically (but not that one) to force people to enable javascript!

My link submission (the OP) renders perfectly fine and readable, and re-actively dynamically resizeable WITH JAVASCRIPT FORCED OFF for that site for safety, but with Javascript off, the top of that page on archive.fo is unreadable (90% of the headline of the article is covered by a frozen popup ad). Turn off javascript and verify yourself.

Third problem, Other than insecurity of running javascript, third party sites could harvest voat IPs with custom unique archive links.

Fourth problem, its a single point of failure.

FIFTH PROBLEM, I cannot resize my web browser window on https://archive.fo/c52dg (archive.fi) and have it reflow text, but the CSS and HTML with javascript OFF on the original link that I used works fine.

There are countless problems to never use a goddamned archiver EXCEPT as a bot within the post thread for posterity.
