Asking to comment on disinformation that Sci-Hub is on some brink of destruction. 
This information was published by one popular science publication. 
I will not give a link, so as not to promote a resource that misinforms its readers.

Sci-Hub is fine. There are no critical changes in the work at the moment.

The only thing is that the loading of new articles is temporarily paused, but otherwise everything is as it was. 
All 85 million scientific articles are still available for reading.

Where did the disinformation come from? On the Reddit portal, 
enthusiasts not associated with the Sci-Hub project or Libgen have created a theme. 
And urged subscribers to download torrents from Sci-Hub archives. 
Allegedly, the resource is under the threat of destruction, and so it will be possible to save it by collective efforts.

This is true only in the sense that Sci-Hub has been under threat throughout its existence. 
So, of course, it doesn't hurt to have a backup on torrents. And what if.

But to lie that the copyright holders allegedly inflicted some kind of crushing blow there 
and the site will close soon, this is somehow too much.

And yes, they also wrote that it was Sci-Hub himself who threw a cry all over the Internet to be rescued.
Lies, Sci-Hub hasn't made any statements about this.

In addition, the journalists also lied in describing how the site works. Supporters allegedly replenished the site,
this is a complete lie. 
The core of Sci-Hub is a script that automatically downloads articles without human intervention. 
No volunteers, supporters, etc. not required for the script to work.

PS. I posted the truth in the comments to this false article. 
The journalist and editor are disgusting, demanding to confirm my identity and rubbing my comments. 
And the tinder is cunning: the very first comments were not rubbed, but pseudo-objections were placed on them, 
and my answers to their 'objections' were rubbed
