@tomjennings @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology then there's just the massive history of music, live performances, both official and unofficial, even phone recordings, local/unknown bands, demos, etc., that will likely be lost in purges in the future... I still can't really find many of the old (very poor) phone recordings and lofi recordings of metal bands from the early 00's to early 10's that I knew... A lot of artists are starting to come around to digital distribution and upload old stuff, but... then there's just the absurd amount of defunct/dead bands (that admittedly no one cares about)
