I think most data hoarders aren't technically knowledgeable enough to get that deep into futureproof archival strategies. I suppose priorities are individually different, though. Some might obsess over preservation, others are happy just accumulating stuff without backups, and data loss is a brief pain, quickly forgotten. The key problem of hoarding is the reluctance/inability to deliberately dispose of things.
- b112 2y agoA new ycomb application; platforms to enable safe data hording. Play on fears of losing everything. How it's too difficult to secure data. How the risks are too high. It's really no different than convincing people they need all sorts of weird lotions, pills, or gadgets, lest their lives will fall apart, their health decline. The bonus here is, it's a client base unable to help themselves. Akin to selling medicine to a hypochondriac. I envision entire divisions doing deep-research into clients, with sliding scale cost. The ultra rich hoarder will have their collection stored on the back side of the moon, SpaceX delivered data pots, with solar, redundancy, robotic maintenance, and more. "My word, it's time to hoard!"
