Every now and then I seek one of the sources I use for research and find out it is gone. In such situations it is preferable to have an archive link. Otherwise that data might be out of access to you unless you are trained in digital forensics.
Especially when it comes to data pertaining controversial material that goes against the mainstream narrative built by liars and agenda driven politicians you might need to constantly archive anything you find useful, lest someone attempts to crush your dreams or the source you found decided to just jump off a bridge and go missing.
Never rely on others when it comes to information. All data is biased and must be cross compared. All sources might fall. Everyone will try to deceive you. Never lower your guard.
