Had this thought the other day and tbh it’s horrifying to think about the implications of one, or God forbid all, of them going down.

    One of those is not a non-profit foundation, and that’s a Problem.

      And that one is not really comparable to the library of Alexandria.

        But it would probably be the most interesting to future archeologists. At least all the noncommercial videos people make about their lives. The “you” part of YouTube.

            The you part of youtube was definitely people making videos for the fun of it. Things like videos about a topic they’re passionate about (eg. Fallout NV, weird mechanics in games, etc.), 2008-esque skits, lets plays, and all that. It still exists, but youtube was really at its peak when it was just a buncha random people living their lives and having fun.

        i was thinking about how much human effort has gone into making instructional videos on how to do things and how all that content exists almost solely in the hands of Alphabet Corp
