    Eh. The Internet is too full of useless crap thst costs energy to keep alive. No one needs endless swathes of boring videos. If there are some valuable recordings there, then they can preserve those.

      I agree in this case but this is what they thought at the dawn of computing, too and we lost a lot of history.

        True but at the dawn of computing we were too naïve. We couldn’t imagine people would record everything.

            Yes, absolutely, but we also preserve everything because separating the wheat from the chaff is too much work. For example, most people store all the pictures they take because it’s easier than selecting the ones we might want later. But we kmow some of them are useless.
