The current internet is terrible at archiving anything it creates. Dead links, impossible to find videos if they get deleted for some reason, news articles that get memory-holed, easier to find archives of paper newspapers than of online newspapers... That's why so many people tweet screenshots of other tweets rather than linking them directly, the network relationship may break at any moment, so better just to post an image rather than link information. In the Napster/Torrent era once I found a video, document or audio I was interested in, it was very easy to find again without having to worry about archiving it myself.
