I have been practicing the same habit. I save local copies of anything and everything I find interesting. I can't tell you how many obscure youtube videos seemingly disappear forever less than a month after I bookmark them.
Many tech savvy people I know have been similarly burned by link rot and now curate their own archives.
- cptskippy 8y agoI have a bookmark file with thousands of links that has it's origins in the late 90s. It's sad just how much of it is dead links.
