I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

    I never understood this until I saw link rot in action. Great projects just disappeared when people forgot to renew domain names or hosting contracts. Others went away when big services like Geocities vanished. Wikipedia and Google censorship took out a lot of others.

      What do you mean by “Wikipedia and Google censorship”? I’m actually super curious, are there examples of stuff being censored and removed from wikipedia for example? Like projects or games?

        Yes, frequently. They also like to keep stuff off of Wikipedia with arbitrary “notability” rules. There used to be a great community of Wikipedia critics, but I’ve lost all the links.
