Bot traffic or human traffic doesn't matter. The goal is to read websites without having your own access.

So Internet Archive, Archive.today, Archive.ph, etc. are all just means to the same end.

I suspect you may be conflating two different things.

Archive.org exists to preserve historical snapshots of the public parts of websites, and not to bypass subscriptions or pay walls.

Internet Archive's traffic may not matter to you, but that's the main topic of this discussion, regardless of what you care or use website archival tools for.

I think you have the wrong impression of the Internet Archive.

The internet archive is not designed to circumvent anything. It is not designed to "grant access without having your own access".
