Yes that’s correct.

Yes.

The attack from the extra traffic is all against a single blog, not the site you visit through archive. Sorry, could have made that more clear.

What is FT? And what do you mean it is okay to use it?

The information is kinda new, so many people do not know yet and recommend it. Also some people might decide not to care as it technically still works to bypass paywalls.

What happens when you open an archive is link is that your browser sends a request to another site in the background in a way that it causes some amount of workload on the target server. When a lot of people use archive, the target server might get slow or unresponsive. In this case it is hosted by Wordpress, so Wordpress might decide not to host the blog any more. My last info was that this is some kind of revenge against the blogs owner as they gathered and published information on who might be behind archive is.

archive is makes your browser DDOS other websites as it has malicious javascript embedded.

Trumps strategy is to flood the zone with shit, so aggregating would maybe counter this in some way.
