You'll only read/watch/play 1% of that stuff in your entire life.

>>107641451i dont know man, i just like doing it.
>>107641451i hoard animeaccording to my anidb i've watched 60% of it
>>107641551What kind of data do you need most in that situation?
>>107641451It's a hobby, I guess. Also you never know when a piece of media will get scrubbed from the internet.
>>107641641>It's a hobbyHave you learned things from doing it?
Saving files from the internet aside, I really wish I still had my personal files from the last 2 decades or so. Photos, drawings, projects, Minecraft worlds, so much lost to time. Now consciously make an effort to keep what I currently have. I hope the future me will be grateful.
>>107641451I'm running out of space and there hasn't been a good deal for storage in a while. Think I might just start watching what I've collected

I literally wouldn't have a reason to hoard anything if the old saying was true. "Once it's on the internet, it's there forever," my ass. Maybe I won't read/watch/play what i saved, but it I don't save it, it won't be there tomorrow.
I'm downloading a bunch of porn lately with the way the streaming services are changing. When I get home from work later, I'll have like 400GB of bukkake videos to sort. At this rate, I think I might buy an 8TB dedicated gooner drive soon.

I need the full 8-10Mbs 1080p brazzers archive before they killed everything with 1Mbs encodes. Particularly every Peta Jensen scene.
>>107641451I'm not
>>107641451To train my AI harem once it becomes feasible to do so on normal hardware.
>>107641451For when nobody can buy computers anymore and I can just watch/play all pre-2030 media from my NAS as much as I want without paying $600 in streaming service fees every month.
