It depends on the site; I've actually had good rapport with Pocket's team on bringing up sites that don't work, and getting them fixed.

In my case, there was no issue with the sites. Pocket could archive them in offline mode just fine. It would just choose to send me to the online version, if it detected a network connection.

It wasn't a technical glitch, more like a dark pattern IMO.
