People like this are the reason we will have records of this period of history in a thousand years.
It’s the meticulous savers you should worry about. The savers smart enough to automate what they save, and fastidious enough to know every sector of what they’ve saved. Those savers may/may not save the whole galaxy.
I save lots of 2000s kid’s shows, for when my future kids grow up. No telling when they’ll become lost media. I use filebot to automatically rename the files to TVDB standards, and so far I’ve collected 8tb. Do I have a problem?
Do I have a problem?
As long as you can afford to maintain your repository, no.

I hope he has indexed everything he saved and can search it efficiently
It says he’s a saver, not a retriever!
Hell, he’s not even golden!
Those things are lost in the great mines of Morediskspaceia

I’m gonna gift that man a really strong magnet
Too late. It’s all SSDs already. They’re more robust long term.
I will die thinking about how I didn’t save Globvids Plague Doctors video.
hello yes, I’ve archived this.
Well, you see, nobody else is saving anymore, so we have to save for the rest of you obsessively saves page

The Archivist
The internet is forever, whether it wants to be or not.
It’s actually pretty selective. Recently tried reading an old webcomic, lots of dead links and the various web archive pages were very incomplete. I’m sure SOMEONE has it saved somewhere, but it doesn’t look like they made it easily available to the general public.
Hold up, does someone know how to save an entire site? I would really like to get the 5e wikidot archived in case Hasbro or whoever wants to shut it down for good.
Link? And where can I upload a PDF* of the site to share with you? tmpfiles.org’s short duration probably won’t cut it…
*Although I’m certain The Saver™️ would only do full webarchive zips, for us casuals, the PDF export shall do (and be easier in day to day use)
Honestly it’s not the information so much as the way it’s organized that I’d like to save. It is the best resource for putting together characters, currently.
