I wonder what percentage are on archive.org

I'm surprised that some of the shittiest, low-value old sites of mine are on there.

This is why I regularly grab all my outlinks and send them in bulk to the Wayback Machine. And send a select subset to archive.today and Ghost Archive.

I didn't know about any of those. How do you add URLs to the Wayback Machine?
