When reading news, I want to know which website goes with the headline… just seeing a link to archive.org doesn’t give that information. Cross-posting should be based on source URL, not the various archive sites hosting copies.

That would be cool, or anything similar in functionality.

I had it a few times already, where I clicked on an archive.org link just to check what the source of the news/title statement is, if it’s reliable and what the news date is. So to check if it’s worth reading, I have to grant them a click first w/o knowing the source URL. This obviously enforces the use of clickbait titles.

With the actual source URL mentioned somehow and somewhere separately, it would be easier and quicker to evaluate. And for well known untrustworthy websites it’s an easy skip and no traffic for them.
