I sort of agree.
I've been down the route of "save all the things" and I mostly veered away from it - The vast majority of that content is never revisited again, at least for me, and the comfort of having it is outweighed by the time/energy it takes to save.
I rely on my memory, and on my email search. I keep an occasional note in Bookstack, and some photos/videos in Seafile & Jellyfin.
Everything else gets deleted, at least once a year, when I wipe and install a fresh OS. My total storage requirements are under 100Gb (under 10 if we don't count photos/videos), and I can fit it all on a usb drive easily.
I don't really feel like I'm missing out.
No judgement for the data-hoarders. I've played that game and it's fun (and a great learning experience most of the time), but eventually I had kids and it just felt like a complete waste of time vs actually spending time with the people in my life.
