Not surprising. They archive information that powerful people would rather ~~we forget~~ monetise.

It's both. I'm sure Puff Daddy, and R Kelly would rather we forget all the horrible things they've done rather than make money off of it. At the same time the NYTimes and the Atlantic would love to make money off their articles about those two people.

That literally has nothing to do with archive.org

Archive.com is not archive.org.
