I would be suprised if archive.today had something that was not in the wayback machine
replyArchive.today has just about everything the archived site doesn't want archived. Archive.org doesn't, because it lets sites delete archives.
replyWayback machine removes archives upon request, so there’s definitely stuff they don’t make publicly available (they may still have it).
replyYou don't even need to do requests if you are the owner of the URL. Robot.txt changes are applied in retrospect, which means you can disallow crawls to /abc, request a re-crawl, and all snapshots from the past which match this new rule will be removed.
replyTrying to search the Wayback machine almost always gives me their made-up 498 error, and when I do get a result the interface for scrolling through dates is janky at best.
replyAccounts to bypass paywalls? The audacity to do it?
replyOh yeah those where a thing. As a public organization they can't really do that.
replyI personally just don't use websites that paywall important information.
>> an analysis of existing links has shown that most of its uses can be replaced.
reply>Oh? Do tell!
They do. In the very next paragraph in fact:
The guidance says editors can remove Archive.today links when the original
source is still online and has identical content; replace the archive link so
it points to a different archive site, like the Internet Archive,
Ghostarchive, or Megalodon; or “change the original source to something that
doesn’t need an archive (e.g., a source that was printed on paper)[flagged]
reply> archive.today
replyHopeless. Caught tampering the archive.
The whole situation is not great.
deleted
replyI just quoted the very next paragraph after the sentence you quoted and asked for clarification.
replyI did so. You're welcome.
As for the rest, take it up with Jimmy Wiles, not me.

replyThanks for the correction. I can't type the letter 'a'[0].
