One of the foundational ideas of the web (vs. most earlier hypertext systems) was that links could break, so there was no global scalability issue. I've long thought we needed a replacement that doesn't have that property. NNTP had a good storage model for important data: If you want to read articles from a site, then you create a mirror. I wish we'd move back to that. In addition to supporting distributed archival (the only type of archival that works), it breaks targeted ads, and eliminates the incentives that lead to clickbait.
