- Kye 5y agoYep. Companies eventually die. Sometimes they're reborn, like IBM, AOL, and Microsoft, but never with the same priorities. The Internet Archive is almost as old as Amazon and archiving is its entire reason for being. The pendulum will swing back as it always has and send things off big [mainframes, clouds], and S3 will be sunset in favor of serving whatever comes next.
