Is it pointless to try archiving every single stream a vtuber has ever done? You're looking at ridiculous amounts of storage necessary for something that, statistically, nobody will ever watch.Coco's channel backup alone is as large as every single episode of One Piece and Detective Conan put together.

>>104644667Keep seething homobeggar. U just mad no one is archiving anything from your parasites.
>>104644667>ridiculous amounts of storageit's like $50 worth, aka less than shipping for one acrylic stand
>>104644667If you have a NAS or even just a desktop and make an effort to accumulate large HDDs when prices are good, two or three terabytes doesn't end up being a ridiculous amount. Particularly for your kamioshi or whatever.Also consider that most people downloading these will just be checking individual streams or categories, few will download the whole lot.
>>104644667>ridiculous amounts of storage>$11.60 per Terabyte brown hands
>>104644667There's no point in doing it unless you're trying to catch a chubba in a yab for some reason.
>>104645097>SeagateIt's cheap for a reason, anon. That piece of shit won't last more than a couple of years at best.
>>104644667After the holocaust, archiving every single stream is a matter of responsibility, not a matter of choice.
>>104644667I'm still sad about my oshi's streams that have been lost forever due to perms or copyright bullshit
>>104645097>>104647165These are only $70 for 12TB(30TB compressed) longterm storage.
>>104644667Tell me you are a SEApoor without telling me you are a SEApoor.
>>104644667You better not be storing everything at 4k.Also that's only like a couple hundred bucks of storage, including raid and a tower to put them in.
>>104645097>>104647448To be fair, you also need at least one backup as well if you intend to keep anything long term
>>104647672>You better not be storing everything at 4k.most videos are in 1080p
>>104647448now how about you show us the price of a tape drive
>>104648047You can get used ones for ~$3000.If you are serious about data hording that's a good thing to buy. I know people who have bought $40k+ in hard drives over the years, when the same amount of data in tapes would have run them maybe 1/4th that amount AND lasted longer.
>>104644667Yes
>>104644667Intellectually and for historical purposes, archiving is good.Personally, even as someone who adored Gura, I haven't gone back to watch old stuff. I don't want to live forever in the past. All of that stuff happened, and is now over, and there's new things happening and life moves on.But I still think it's good that it's preserved.
>>104644667Storage space is getting cheaper every year, in 5 years time that amount of space will be nothing. I've had an 8tb external for storage for years and its still going strong, it is however getting full as there's only 500gb left now.
>>104644667Some stuff becomes lost media if no one bothers to archive.
>>104644667>statistically, nobody will ever watchSo you'd rather they just be lost to time?
>>104644667Get help.
>>104653348Yes.
>>104644667Every PS2 game? That's pretty good.
>>104649353If you are serious about data hoarding you should put that money into therapy.
>>104644667With AI constantly getting better, eventually you can use it to train an AI clone of your oshi that perfectly mimicks every gesture, quirk, voice tick, and that remembers every single thing they've ever mentioned in the archive.
>>104653348No bro, it's totally crucial some 2view minecraft #32 vod is preserved for the future of humankind
