I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

I went through every single disc before I donated them, yeah. Actually I did some organization so one spindle was all Anime, another was all SciFi, so on.
...found a fair bit of porn. I kept the porn. TV series are ephemeral. Porn is eternal.
Not optical disks, though. Especially burnables. They have a shelf life. Make sure to replicate the data in time.
It is so depressing how much I lost as a kid.
My backup method was almost entirely optical. Oh well. I’ve kept myself from feeling too bad by keeping in mind that I am waaaaay too lazy to ever go digging through it anyway.
Good point. For all I know I've got the last viewable copy of "Sodomy Cream Pies" in existence.
Better share the love while you can.
