385TB is a whole lotta data good grief

hopefully its broken up like annas archive are doing with the spotify dump. the myrient collection seems like it would be pretty easy to divide up logically.

It is impressive but not truly massive. There are dozens of people on /r/datahoarder who have near or over 1PB (1000TB) of storage so it could be one of them volunteered the space.

By contrast with something like the internet archive we are truly fucked if it goes belly up as it's multiple PB of storage.

The AI industry frenzy undoubtedly contributed to the original Myrient archive’s soaring costs, ahead of its closure announcement. Perhaps ironically, if Myrient hadn’t been saved, retro fans may have looked to AI to generate copies of their favorite apps and games of yesteryear?
