Imagine being this fucking retarded
Getting free storage
Wait what? dont they have IP limits or file size? how come that when I check sites from like just fucking 5 years ago most of the pics are gone? that shit is a few kb and they purge that.
The Wayback Machine (the website archiving project you're refering to) is just one part of the Internet Archive. They also allow users to upload their own data in the Community Media section.
But missing files you come across on the Wayback Machine are missing for other reasons. Their archiver follows the robots.txt exclusion protocol so if the webmaster doesn't want their image files archived they won't be.

don't expose the honeypot
A lot of shit is missing from sites without robots files, and they rarely exclude files by extension anyway. My guess is that their crawlers are just pieces of shit.
It's tough work hosting an archive of 23 years-worth of the entire internet when you're a private company with 80 employees that relies on volunteers and donations to keep going.

they get a lot of gibs from several big tech companies
I'm sure I will be well received
Again, retard
Well, with better crawlers they could save a ton of money, also if they were more selective on what they archive. They give the same priority to an indian escorts site than to a scientific journal
