    I think independent media has the biggest potential of becoming “lost media”. With potential no other copies of this media accessible online, I find it increasingly important to have this backed up.

    You’ll always be able to find a copy of Forrest Gump online, but go through your liked videos on YT and see how many are lost forever.

      This is a big part of it IMO. Even ‘streaming exclusive’ stuff that see’s no physical release gets pirated enmass so many copies exist. Few people copy YouTube content however, since it’s already online, free, and easily accessible. …Until the day it’s not accessible of course.
