Little bit OT, but I always wondered what archive.is does better than archive.org....



archive.org archives any digital content; including larger (media) files. archive.org also has several other active archive projects than just the Wayback Machine. It also respects robots.txt. archive.org is a non-profit based in SF.

archive.is archives webpages by stripping it off of any dynamic content, but it tries its best to capture a dynamic (multi) page (spa) anyway (for example, twitter threads, linkedin profiles). It limits file-sizes up to 50MB (I think?), and works best with text-heavy webpages (news and blogs, for example). archive.is is ran by a for-profit company based in NY, but it isn't clear who is in fact behind it.
