Why are all these links archive.vn, it's annoying when I can't click on the actual subreddit

It ensures you can see the page as it was when it's captured, in case it or most of the comment get deleted. Links to the website are at the top of the page.

Because unfortunately, a ton of LGB subs get banned and then you can only see their content through archive websites.

For example, I shared a post about r/super_lesbian (or however it was spelled) and then the subreddit was deleted. If I had posted the original link as the post, then clicking on it would throw an error or whatever which is annoying, so usually I have the archive link as the post and include the original link in the comments.
