Guys at craft.do shipped a good solution to this problem imho

Couldn't get back to thumbnail view on iPhone - tried like 5-6 times...

There's a tiny "Back to grid view" link. Maybe you're seeing a mobile version that doesn't have that link?

You should view this on a desktop screen, though. On an iPhone you'll probably see the text even when maximized.

Time weeds out (pun intended) the wasteful players

Put it to archive.is yourself - problem solved without large scale coordination

I have tried it once and did not let me do such thing; it complained I'm in Europe where GDPR is applied...maybe it was a glitch during that attempt?

Advanced methods

Maybe not ddos just pushing up view counts for money

Ridiculous lol

Seems like a covert layoff to me...

Yeah, I think that’s likely. I doubt they’re breaking any laws, but this strategy is clearly not in the public interest and as such I’d like to see some of these executive from companies that have taken similar actions compelled to answer some questions under oath before congress.
