I guess its time to change Internet channels. This one sucks.
Anything can be deleted. I mean the WHOLE Stephen Colbert show was, or is soon to be deleted. (The satirical Comedy Central program The Colbert Report that ran from 2005 to 2014.)
Vice deleted whole archives when it was bought.
Dark ages.

This happened in FTP days too, and I took to storing anything important because it might not be there tomorrow, or worse, behind a paywall. At one point I had a large box of 5.25 floppies I'd copied to CD that we trucked to the dump. Later did CD to DVD, most of that also now on a 5tb drive.
Periodically, since 1985 or so, there were moments when I thought gee it is all online for free why do I bother? But then mores change and I buy more storage, it's a vicious cycle.
