I always thought some of the people posting the archive links were shills for the people running that site (it’s monetized with ads) — brilliant strategy.

I'd be disappointed to learn that anyone who's been longer on HN than about five minutes wasn't using an adblocker.

That said, this is a valuable service. If I were ever willing to consider turning off an adblocker anywhere, this would be where I'd start.

Ah, but that’s not the only way —- backlinks, people copying the link and sharing it on social media, and mentioning the site all grow traffic immensely, and some of that traffic won’t have ad blockers :)

IIRC one of the sites still has a “buy me a coffee” link, as if the owner needs it.
