So much for neo nazism.

Don't worry. We will never forget the crimes of Charlie Chaplin.

I owned a fireplace sometime back... I liked to start fire with printed stuff. Literally I burned work I produced for almost 3 months, because I'm schizoid and thought somebody's going to steal my work if he sees those papers.

I specialize in reconstructing documents from ashes for various organizations. Where is the fireplace?

From ashes? Ashes are in nearest water stream, or already in the sea... It's been years.

This graph seems about right. It's amazing how "the internet" really doesn't exist anymore. Everything is just the same 3 AI circljerk articles over and over again on mirror sites. Google is utterly useless and there's no other alternatives that aren't just Google derivatives.
Think of the MILLIONS of official docs that can/will be lost over time. Meanwhile, we're still reading physical letters from Pharaohs.
"Modernity" was a mistake.

It will only get worse after you have to type in your social security number to post. All of the wrongthinkers will just be rounded up and disappeared

It doesn't account for the fact, that every website which doesn't load have 4 mirrors and archives.
Like libgen, it sometimes doesn't load, but there's whopping 23TB of torrents generated by that engine.

Can't dig up info before election. This is intentional. Makes it easier to gaslight the public regarding random votes showing up

Cope. I used to save my bookmarks manually instead of relying on a browser account. Recently, I found a save file from 2017 with links to articles, blogs, YouTube videos, niche sites, and forums that I had as bookmarks at that time. They were all working at that time.
Guess what? Around 70% of it was gone. I tried tracking some of it on the Internet Archive, but only a few snapshots were available, and the snaps were not for the pages I saved, only some other pages of that website.
This idea that 38% of the webpages from disappeared is way too conservative. Most traffic now is centralized around a few social media sites that, ironically, seem to have more continuity. If Facebook were to go down, for instance, we’d see a major data loss. Already, old links are mostly broken; images and videos disappear, and sometimes all that’s left is plain text.
This is not something new, as physical records are also prone to loss or damage, but the difference is that people used to back up their data. I remember when people would save their music, movies, and articles on external drives. Now, it’s all about streaming, and this shift means people don’t really “own” anything. It also makes censorship easier; if content isn’t on the main platforms, it quickly fades away. Back in 2015, if a video got removed from YouTube, you would expect 10 reuploads within the week. That culture’s gone. Now, finding anything from 2009 or earlier feels impossible unless it’s migrated to the big streaming sites. I think zoomers don't really realize how much damage has been done to the content available on the Internet, and the older generations don't seem to care. The only content to survive will come from collectors who kept the record of things in their physical drives, or anything that remained mainstream in the streaming platforms. Go talk to any normie, they wouldn't watch or listen anything that is not being streamed right now.

Somebody has to be keeping records. Surely domestic or foreign intelligence agencies have saved lots of data.

If you want your data to survive, WordPress is like digging your own grave, with all security vulnerabilities it has, your hosting will be harvested by automated malware/ransomware campaings.

those will be unreadable in a few decades, not only because the data degrades but because you have no device to read them with anymore

Youtube removed half of the videos in a playlist I created 3 years ago, even removed a complete playlist as some of the videos being against their policies somehow justified deleting an entire playlist. I can't even track the video names. Anything other storing data yourself will result in data loss.
And I can't wait for dropbox and mega to go offline.

History ended with the iPhone. Historians will look back on the 30 years following the introduction of the smartphone and wonder why nothing survives.

No, real history ended when they killed JFK and all the presidents that followed were actors and/or cia assets.

What percentage of random pieces of paper that were scribbled or drawn on in 2013 is still available today? How much useful data is lost when someone graduates and throws away his notebook with Physics 101 lecture notes and exercises?
