Yep. I used to think that I didn’t need to download and back up stuff because “I just need to pop on over to Youtube or something and it’ll be there!” only to find out the hard way that people delist and take down stuff from places all the time, including major corporations.

I wish I’d downloaded and backed up some of my favorite stuff back in the day. Whether it’s videos, music, games… it’s surprising how much crap gets taken down. I never thought that people who insisted on having physical copies were weird (unlike some others) but now I realize even more nowadays that they were right. Especially if they use those physical copies to make their own digital backups.
