I don’t know why you think this is an edgy comment, I’m actually screenshotting it to take a look tomorrow at the links. I’ve seen Anna archive and SCI hub which are extremely useful, if it helps finding more gems I’m all for it !

You're screenshotting URLs to type out?

I do that on my phone. It's almost as easy to tap an ocr-ed url in my photos app as it is to click a link on a web page.

(On my laptop, I'm just as likely to spend half a day writing a scraper or reverse engineering the javascript and apis to collect a dozen or two urls that I should have just jotted down in my notebook...)

This is probably the best innovation in the last decade as far as I’m concerned.

It has conquered the 20 digit WiFi password in 6 font.

why type, when you can copy and paste text from images these days??

It read that way to me too. It's the familiar switcheroo/hoist by their own petard/ironic one-upping move, a routine as well known to the internet as ape behavior is to Jane Goodall.
