The main reason why archive.today was popularized was during the gamergate era, where people would archive things that people were doing, so that it would be permanently saved, in addition to avoiding paywalls, cookies, and advertisements. ```legitimate archives obey takedown requests``` is like saying ```legitimate libraries obey censorship laws```, and you justify it because you want to control access to history, so the only person who can define their past is the person themselves, and they should be able to censor archives of their own activities under the premise of `privacy`, even though they literally never kept the information `private`.
