It really whips the llama's ass. Post says it all. Foreveralone. Take my upvote. Are we in post-social media yet or what?
Imgur purge is actively happening. Safe to say we will be in that era soon enough, give or take 2 years optimistically. Being pessimistic, 1 year. To bring even more depression, during this year, in realtime right now, content is being purged at a rate where you will be lucky if you manage to salvage all that you need to.
We are in the most turbulent era of internet that we might ever see, before the AI age dawns upon us. Grab a couple 4 TB Seagate HDDs and save anything you need to. Movies, documentaries, songs, obscure YouTube videos, photo galleries, game ROMs, webpages, documents... anything. Ham that internet connection with whatever freerange VPN you can.
I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.
Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data. It's always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to ... whom ever.
Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music... it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once ... mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.

Being able to archive is the most important factor. My point is to hurry up and, if needed, deprioritise other things in life. This time, and internet in its current state, is never coming back. This is not a paranoid doomer brain, this is reality, and we are witnessing it right now in realtime.
Love the winamp reference! No other software has a better start up sound IMHO.
