I find it interesting that they want to charge $0.33/hr just for the image. For an equivalent spend on electricity, i could run 3 full size refrigerators per hour (1kw each).

Existing replies are great. Also: The wayback link will come from the wayback servers / CDN, providing an easy bypass if the original submission is on an underpowered platform (no cdn, running in someone's basement, geographically
