People who archive do it to make sure things are not permanently lost to corporate greed.
Data hoarders are saving us all
Yep.
I download concert videos I like from Youtube, less because I want to watch them all the time, but because eventually, some corporation is going to swoop in and delete it all.
You think I'm archiving?
Friend, I'm wholly in this image, filled with shame, but honest enough to admit it.
The linked sites? Those aren't the subject of the meme, they're some of the suppliers for my uncontrolled addiction to reading the first paragraph of something, thinking I might want to reference it later and then hitting download and never, ever returning.
It does go in a folder which is never cleaned though, which remains entirely unorganized.
