Online Content Is Disappearing
A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible.
You're viewing a single thread.
The biggest crime against shared knowledge ever committed is photobucket fucking off with the pictures in every "how to fix this car problem" forum post.
There’s some old Reddit posts like this too. Advice threads where the person who posted a solution went back and overwrote their comments during the boycott last year. I know why they did it but we still lost some information in the grand scheme of things.
Most of reddit was already archived before: https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/
Also by the Archive Warrior project: https://tracker.archiveteam.org/reddit/#show-all
And that is why I criticized the decisions every time I read about it. Every time I got mixed responses but ultimately got a higher downvote ratio.
Also a reason I participate(d) in the archive warrior reddit project.
And all the "Thanks! Took two minutes to fix after seeing your post" comments just to rub it in.
