And?
It's supposed to preserve them, retraction is sometimes used as a form of censorship. It's a feature not a bug.
Having access to retracted papers is nice but:
I wonder how hard would it be to build a extension for a browser that checks the doi of the paper youre looking at on scihub against the live version, to see if there's a retraction/update to the paper, and list the date of the changes. I assume that information wouldn't be behind a paywall.
The reason for it being via an extension is to reduce load on sci hub, and for the lookup requests to be decentralised and live for the relevant paper
Shouldn't be impossible. There are addons for Zotero (reference manager) to check CrossRef for citation count and one of the post-publishing review platforms for comments on the paper.
