remember kids, everything you post on the internet stays forever*
*unless it cannot be monetized anymore
Oh, that stuff is out there somewhere… in a database
The WayBack Machine would like a word: https://web.archive.org/
Even the Wayback Machine has limits to what is available.
Everything you post has potential to remain forever even if it’s not monetized directly. Cautioning people about it makes sense now and has always made sense.
Really? Because I don’t think my dick pic can be monetized
Maybe start a charity and raise money that way?
54% of Wikipedia pages contain at least one link in their “References” section that points to a page that no longer exists.
It would be interesting to know how many of these references don’t exist anymore and how many have just moved. Web has come a very long way since 2013 and I bet that websites hosting the references have undergone several iterations altering the URLs in some way.
disgusting. it’s like early TV where people thought it was low-rent crap and not worth saving.
it always seems impractical to store this stuff but then it goes away and you realize how much you’re missing.
