I have consistently run into the CAPTCHA since first noticing it, even if I only archive one thing in a few days' time, but it stopped making me solve puzzles after the first few, at least. But, whatever it takes to keep them online is fine by me.

I'm ok with a captcha, too. It's probably the case that they're being attacked by censorious agents, but it may also be the case that this is a reaction to a genuine increase in archival demand.

I wouldn't be too surprised considering how popular it's getting to edit older articles, definitions, and wiki pages because they are 'inconvenient', and remove comments/posts on social media for wrongthink. Internet archival is a need that is increasingly hard to satisfy, at least the way it's done now.
