someone post an archive link, I can't read that

Is working around accessing an embargoed site really any better than just accessing it directly? Morally, what's the difference?

If everyone just actively boycotted that site, it would become irrelevant overnight. Anything else is simply condoning it continued existence. Don't kid yourself.

The issue is that you need an account to view the replies, not that there's a moral opposition to visiting the website (though it could be that too).
What's stopping you from making the archive link yourself?
I'd like to learn but I can't find a guide on how to do it. Could you please share one?
