Knowing that it decays is what prompts us to try and save the bits worth saving. I don't sit in the camp that everything digital must be preserved and that it's a disaster if it isn't. I try not to fight entropy in it's many manifestations. It's a shame when content disappears but I think it's also healthy to just accept it. We tend to only frame information disappearing in a negative light because we can always imagine a scenario where that information could have been valuable to someone, and that is a valid concern, I just don't think it's helpful to view it as the internet going into some downward rotting spiral and therefore every single 0 and 1 must be preserved. The major problems of the internet seem to be almost entirely cultural currently.
