+1. Need something like archive.today/.is for Twitter so you can rip and archive the content that might not live elsewhere. Grab it, stick it in Wayback Machine, return a Wayback url.
Reddit doesn't have login walls yet but it has way too much information stored within their walls to not have a backup / non-social-media way of extracting it. It's infeasible to have Reddit blocked because it's UI is intended to be addictive like all social media but also be able to extract information from it.
For the moment.
It's not like 95% of the content is any good anyway. You have to dig deep into a niche to really get any value, and the last few years, less and less. Of course, I haven't logged in for 3-4 years so maybe I'm missing something. Doubt it.
There isn't one on the root directory, but Reddit has plenty of login walls.
Plus mobile sometimes refuses to show some things.
old.reddit still works though.
But archive.today uses scraping and all sorts of tricky methods to bypass paywalls. I honestly don't understand why Nitter can't just stay logged out and rotate IPs. Although I'm sure that gets pricey when other people are accessing it constantly.

There was a gaming message board where someone wrote a browser extension that would back up all topics someone visited in the background while they were reading them. It became important for archiving as much content from those forums as possible as the forum was in the process of shutting down.
