What worries me is the fact that maybe, only maybe, nobody is backing things up, as everyone's assuming someone, somewhere is doing it, simply because hey, it's the internet, and it will automatically heal these lost files without any human intervention!
I've been lurking this site for too long, and seeing archive.is removing archives was the last straw. I have zero investigative talent, but maybe I can be a useful backuper in this whole thing.
This is a very real possibility, simply the fact that we all assumed that everything was being archived and that it was safe, made us lazy in that sense. I used to download everything I found interesting simply because I didnt have 24/7 access to the web before. I have some snips and pictures related to pizzagate on several computers, but nothing compared to what was being archived on slimg and archive.is
