The site wants to share info with advertisers. I found this to be refreshingly honest.

We and our up to 185 partners use cookies and tracking technologies. Some cookies and data processing are technically necessary, others help us to improve our offer and operate it economically…

Anyway, can we get an archive link?

It’s strange to think about how complicit the public has become with this. You mean to tell me that 185 separate connections to other companies are required for me to… read an article?

Instead of hacking Bluetooth, sounds more effective to be an “advertising partner”.

You can get/make your own archive link by going to archive.ph and entering the article’s URL.
