How about something that instead of allowing you to post a direct link, it automatically searches for an archive.is or similar link, and posts that instead, or if its behind a paywall and cannot be viewed or archived at all as per most of this shit that gets posted returns an error to the fucking idiot trying to post it?
No one is going to fucking pay for a subscription to any of the shit that gets posted, and i tell you straight up i just avoid any links from people that keep posting this retarded fucking shit entirely.

I like it.
How about one step further, check if the site is paywalled or ad-blocker-restrictive and instead of submitting the link, display a window that says something like "Either archive this shit or copy/pasta the article, faggot."
Either way, I fucking love it.

Spot on, but tards will be tards.
Have been fighting all year with idiots who can’t comprehend that letting water out of the bottom of a bucket affects water flowing from the top.
Give them a valve to turn, and they’ll fuck it up every time.

I'm confused. Water flows into bucket? And there's a valve?
[–] QualityShitposter 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Pretty much nailed it. There’s a pipe with valves at the bottom. Idiots can’t figure out why water doesn’t come out the top when valves at bottom are open.
Maybe next year they’ll learn how to open valves to direct water to dry spots instead of wet spots.

It's voat, they are all niggers faggots and won't. Wait for infinity.

A good way to solve the problem would be to educate those who don't know how to archive. When I first joined Voat I was unaware there was such a thing. Watched a few Youtube videos on it, but they can be confusing sometimes. Would you be willing to educate people on this? Perhaps post a few sites that are good for articles, others for videos?

You'll find it easier to educate Africa to read and raise the continental intelligence to the point of no longer believing that raping a virgin will cure AIDS.

I like it.
But don't put total faith in archive.is or any other centralized solution. Best to have decentralized bots dumping snapshots to IPFS.

I might be wrong, but doesn't https://archive.org/web/ do exactly this? Enter a URL and it searches all the major archive sites for an archive.

How about adding an option to allow us to down voat crap links? :/
