If I remember a piece of media but find that it's been lost for good, it's like I've lost a small part of myself. I could not have phrased it more perfectly myself. Those things are a part of us. Back in the day your preserved memories were a journal, a book, a photograph, a videotape. Now they live on the cloud and all it takes to lose part of it is for a creator to decide that content doesn't suit their brand anymore and erase it. Just going through your Youtube Liked Videos list and seeing how many are no longer available should be enough to send a cold chill down your spine. If I like it, I save it. There are some things I suspect I may have the only existing copy of. I wish someone would come up with a site archiver like HTTRACK but built for archival of modern websites that are full of content not hosted directly on the site's server.
