Anyone else facing captcha loops whenever they try to view an archive.is link? Haven’t been able to read subscriber only articles for months now

I haven't faced a captcha but, it just took a solid 2 minutes to resolve and load the article for me. Maybe they have something else happening behind the scenes impacting performance so they are locking down certain routes?

Not every time, but far too often. They don't seem to care that they're discriminating against people with AV impairment, plus locking out some secure browsers.

Dang, yeah it’s probably my strict browser settings. Thanks for the confirmation of shared experience.

Sometimes I'm able to get around it by tweaking some ublock permissions, but once I was surprised to discover that changing my user-agent with user-agent switcher seemed to do the trick. It's really strange. Cloudflare's captcha loops are inscrutable.

No but I do get about three or four challenges. I can paste the article for you if it helps?

I don't have this problem; You probably are using TOR or a VPN and it triggered the captcha, if it's not then it's def strange, never seen this happen to me
