I still blame my younger self for falling for the sirens of "access the world's biggest library", without realizing that said libraries gain and lose contents all the time and favor most popular contents. The fool I was.
At the time, I slowly got rid of my handcrafted library and only too late did I realize my mistake.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoDon't blame yourself too hard. It's the marketing scoundrels that lied to you (and everyone else). They told you they were selling access to a library, but a library carries connotations of a mostly append-only collection. They, however, really sold you access to a commercial catalog - the opposite of a stable collection.
