You said free archive sites don't survive long. But you also say you don't want your archive on a blockchain because you want it to remain free. Given you keep no backups (and have no plans to) aren't you guaranteeing the archive will eventually be permanently lost?

I don’t give guarantees. And I don’t trust the guarantees of others (like the clouds). One day it will be lost forever, just like your photos on Facebook, files on Dropbox, etc. It will happen long before the collapse of the universe.
It doesn’t depend on whether the service is free or paid (I would be more suspicious of paid ones, since their project idea is subordinate to the search for profit).
Blockchain may be the solution, but it is not designed to store large files. Those cryptoprojects that need large disks are not suitable for storing files, it’s just proof-of-work using a disk instead of a video card.
I have nothing to offer in this area: you see, even NFTs don’t store whole files on blockchain because it is too expensive even for them. We have to wait for the next generations of blockchain.
