I think the relevant question is "What content would you publish that would be important enough to be retrieved after it outlives you?"
If you publish any content it ends up on several storage devices somewhere along the way, hosting server hdd, ram in routers, switches, etc. We know we can retrieve erased data from hdd's today even if it's been overwritten once or twice. The chances are in the future we'll get even better at that and we'll be able to retrieve an arbitrary cycles of overwritten data.
So the question won't be will that data exist in the future as much as will it be worth anyone's time to look it up, even with a near zero look up time.
I think that's a much harder thing to try to accomplish today so that people care about what you had to say in a few generations.
For example we could look up the DNA sequence of anyone who was ever been buried in a grave that is still around today, how many of their grand grand kids actually do? And what more accurate and interesting fact about a random person is there to know than that?
So unless you invent something notable or make a meaningful contribution, I doubt anyone would care enough to see what you had to say.
Storage is not your problem, content is.
