The free internet might be gone in the next decade. Probably time to buy a few hard drives and do some archiving. I don't just mean piracy. Articles, blogs, anything you find precious.

I suspect that in some places they might start requiring ID when purchasing large volumes of storage.

"Only a criminal would need 10 terabytes of storage!"

Something stupid like that.

Back in another life (videography), I had acquaintances who would throw looks when they heard I’d purchased a single terabyte. Seems that narrative might already be - at least mildly -pervasive.
