I've been thinking about this for a couple years. With our (recent) history becoming more and more digital we are losing more of our history. There's lot of creativity of all forms being digital and online only lasting only as long as the creator supports it. No longer are we viewing physical pieces art, but ephemeral pieces art. (I'm including websites made for personal use, by hobbyists, etc).

I know Archive.org archives a lot, but they can't archive everything, especially all the small personal websites.

Not just personal sites, but even news sites.

Storage is expensive. Site owners don’t want to hold stuff forever, and the Archive cannot afford to hold everything forever either.
