Anonymous middleman that could potentiallly collect browsing histories, serves CAPTCHAS, requires Javascript, maybe in crosshairs of authorities, unreliable according to some commenters (YMMV). NB. Nothing about "honeypot", just observations (cf. "accusations")

Someone recently noticed an apparent DDOS attempt on some blogger using Javascript fetch function

The site used to include a tracking pixel containing the visitor's IP address

Also used to ping mail.ru

Would need to look at the page source again to see what it contains today

It's a crowd favorite

People love it

Are you accusing archive.today of being a honeypot for the feds because they use Cloudflare? That's a bit much don't you think?
