In my opinion in internet only thing that really matters is to preserve information of all kinds, for example this article https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/14/23792586/classic-game-preservation-video-game-history-foundation-esa and this is not only video games, YouTube too, Reddit too, stack overflow too, and many many many more, what hurts the most is that enormous amount of information may disappear at any moment, it feels like burning of library of Alexandria, so much of history is just going poof and this is when we have such technologies as modern filesystems supporting block based dedication and transparent compression and such cheap giant vessels of info, for example 20tb hdd cost around 350usd while just 10 years ago it would cost few thousands, i think billionaires are way too short sighted to not trying to really preserve and recover all the info possible
