It seems like a reasonably thing, to stop giving the Internet Archive money if you think they might be a bad steward of it.
The comparison to rockstars is kind of interesting though, they often engaged in behavior that was criminal, and sometime pretty odious. We gave them money because we liked their cultural output, and they wouldn’t give it away for free.
The Internet Archive doesn’t demand money, produces stuff with much arguably greater social value, and doesn’t really do anything odious (just illegal).
In the end I have a streaming subscription and don’t give money to charities (maybe when I get a good job I will). Funny to think about, though.

Most people won't. When you get the better job, you still won't. If you were buying your first yacht, you still won't.
Pick a percent, maybe 1%, of your income. Donate it. If it's literally $1, you are at least giving a dollar. Do it today. If you don't want to pick charities directly, there are charitable funds you can give to instead.
