This is more about a personal vent than anything but here goes.
I wish I was more thorough with myself years ago. With the knowledge I have today, I would have LOVED to have saved a ton of YouTube videos and pony artist’s galleries and fanfictions and maybe even cache some websites before they went down. Some of them have resurfaced thanks to the efforts of others, but I still somewhat beat myself up over the fact that there was so much I seeing from year’s past that I will never see again because they are just gone. Some may exist on someone’s hard drive somewhere from an incidental save, but if it’s not on the internet then it is almost good as gone.
It’s just a melonchaly feeling I’ve been feeling after getting around to finally watch Episodes 24-26 of Season 9 (Yes a bit late on that I know). I first started watching ponies in 2011 and ed the fandom the same year. just a whole slew of content and memories that are kind of gone and faded. So…I guess it’s a melonchaly vent about not saving more stuff? Nowadays I try to be more thorough just in case. You never know.
