Curioulsy, what about digital hoarding? endlessly bookmarking things to never visit them again.

  Or storing terabytes of data offline. Probably similar reasons but with less real-world harm.

    Hey, what's wrong with actually owning your data? :p (I'm watching Shin Chan again lately. Last time I used Netflix, years ago, I remember they took it down due to some licensing reason. That actually spurred me on to get it, and now I can watch it any time. Muaha)

  this is a sign the person hasn't yet fully ubderstood and accepted the inevitability of their own death. in their mind, they will live forever and eventually have time to visit each bookmark.

    I do poor-man's bookmark hoarding; I leave tabs open on things I am interested in, until said tabs fail or the browser crashes. If I don't bother reopening them, that part is passed.

  This is the reason why I could consider myself a hoarder, but > Hoarding is absolutely not laziness. A lazy person does not resist someone cleaning up for them! tells me that I might just be lazy. And digital hoarding is not too bad since I almost never see my bookmarks, it doesn't affect me much.
