Archive.today and its subsidiaries poison DNS queries from Cloudfare and Quad9, though. Archive.org doesn't, and is the OG, but it doesn't always get around the paywalls.
What does poisoning DNS queries mean?
Basically the page doesn't load. DNS converts the URL into actual server IP's for you to connect to and get the web page from. archive.today does some things depending on where you're from, and if your DNS provider doesn't give them this information they blackhole the request.
