>about the paywall workarounds that are frequent on HN—I was genuinely shocked to learn they hadn’t heard about it.

Is the Internet Archive regularly used as a paywall workaround? Generally it's archive.is, which has no connection to the IA.

It’s certainly not as common as archive.is, but I’ve seen it done on HN. I even commented at one point something to the effect of “this seems like a great way to get news sites to block the Internet Archive”…

That's not the point.

Yes, he got that wrong. The IA doesn't remove paywalls.
