    @SalamenceFury 2/ This happens mostly to data that too many people have lost interest in, which decreases the likelihood of it being maintained. This is why most people don’t notice this happening, and are unaware of it. Most people are also unaware that their local library discards many books every year, but all libraries do, and must. The few people who do care are largely powerless to preserve it, for lack of resources. (How many books could YOU store?) The Internet is no different from that.
