I hope they’re donating big chunks of money to the Internet Archive in return for what’s likely to bring a ton of extra traffic.

They must be proxying the traffic off of a cached copy. I doubt they’d be sending traffic straight to IA.

Ideally it’d be a check that comes close to what they saved from no longer hosting caches themselves.

The IA is about to be nuked by their lost lawsuit. If Google will keep them afloat just about anything would be better than them vanishing entirely.
