Digital hoarding is a real thing

- cm2187 3y agoI would bet those who grew up with 56k modems are more affected!

Sure, I have my secret stash over in the corner of that NAS in the garage, just in case. But I otherwise can now download what I want in seconds, minutes at worst. Ergo, I don’t hoard nearly like I used to (never was a true hoarder in the first place, so I can probably be ignored). Not to say that your point isn’t well taken. One does tend to keep stuff after a long overnight download, and old habits die hard. And I do have a local copy of Wikipedia…just in case.
