    Lots of people hoard data. The problem is keeping it in a working state. Think about how many people have old towers or laptops in their garage or basement never to look at those downloads or vacation photos again.

      I’m a huge fan of the golden era of anime fansubs. I know a lot of people still have the files, but they’re probably squirreled away on an offline hdd or a bunch of dvds, not being shared. It’s quite sad and frustrating. It’s completely lost culture in many instances.
