Whatever happened to DOI? (Or leveraging Google's knowledge of redirects?) A lot of rot is hosting changes; the documents, if the author cared, could well be hosted somewhere else.

DOI is still there; in fact one might say that it's sci-hub and not google that has made DOI actually useful.

Are you referring to Digital Object Identifiers? If so, they are still being used. I've only seen it be utilized for scientific research data though - check out datacite.org
