Google cache used to be useful for getting past a paywall or even sometimes for subscription knowledge bases (like Redhat, Fuck you IBM, I used to be able to get to that with a developer account but you disabled that). Oh well. Google is slowly dyeing and I doubt anything will stop it.

It will be a very long and very slow death but they have lost everything that made them successful and I am willing to bet you could fire at least 50% of their staff and absolutely NOTHING would change with their products/services.

>Google has now totally disabled the Google Cache from completely working. Earlier this year, Google removed the cache link from the search result snippets. Then a couple of weeks ago, added links to the Wayback Machine. Now, the direct link to see the Google Cache has been fully disabled. If you try to go directly to the Google Cache - something I have tried literally every day since Google removed the links from the search results - Google will now show nothing:

One of the largest companies on the planet with probably some of the largest historical data on the internet on the planet has gotten rid of their archive (publicly) to read that data.

This is 1984. They have to make sure you can not reference the history that you remember so that they can bring in the "new world". I almost regularly reference an article that is now at least 10+ years old in conversations and people think I am crazy but then I can show it to them. They are trying to make sure this is no longer possible.

They are trying to kill archive.org too. They want to delete the old internet.
