I don't have the time nor the money to be a data hoarder, unfortunately. I think there needs to be a bigger collective of people that preserve this type of history. Archive.org is doing a sizable job with the written side of the internet but there's still a long way to go to preserve media.
- SllX 8y agoI too don't have the time or money to be a data hoarder, but if I like something enough that I'm going to want to read or watch it again, and especially if I want to refer it to others or refer back to it as a source, I'll make a copy. Not because I necessarily want my own copy, but because it is the only way to make sure that I'll still have it available for my own use. That said, there's a lot that just isn't worth saving, so I don't actually spend much in the way of time or money saving it.
- dpkonofa 8y agoBut that's exactly the point of my initial post. Downloading a video for myself on YouTube is technically copyright infringement. That's a completely ridiculous concept but it's the state of where the internet is today thanks to corporate lobbyists and politicians that are easy to buy off who don't understand how the technology works in the first place.
