If you only leech and you're not a hoarder, it really doesn't require much. For most people there's not really any need to store every single piece of media they've ever consumed or hope to consume...some day...maybe. Or setup tools to automate their uncontrollable hoarding.
Oh God this is going to become the new "clearing away all grandpa's old Playboys and VHS tapes and newspapers," isn't it?
Use a password manager; keep the porn accounts in a separate password vault that can be disposed of. Keep the password in a safe and/or include it in your will in some way.
I'm going to have to take over my dad's setup someday and keep it running for my mom...
Good point although I was thinking more generally in terms of the sheer quantity of hoarded material. Every episode of Taggart and Midsomer Murders and Housewives.... Grandma's hoard might be even more unwieldy
Oh, I'm familiar with hoarders. Grandma is floor to ceiling; shed, two car garage, basement, both floors. I think the family plan is to let the city/bank deal with it when she goes. We won't go inside.
I totally agree it's a job best done by someone without any emotional ties.
I also realize that "the bank/the city" means "some secondary cleaning contractor" which means "some probably-undocumented immigrants," i.e. another vital service which could be impacted by the Trump Purge.
