> Imagine your own scenario where the facts reported on the day might conflict with something claimed to be true much later, and the person wasn’t notable at the time but they’re highly notable now.
I do see your point. I'm reminded of the photograph who snapped basically a digital throw away picture of Monica Lewinsky weeks/months/years before anyone really knew who she was. later on, he was happy to have that picture, since it was one (or the only one) of her at some event hugging Clinton.
Text is easy enough to store, but making it useful to search and access seems like another problem to solve.
Or small groups of people interested in the community could archive it themselves and host it. I don't know if MTV news had a serious following or not, maybe that part of the reason the archive was taken down - nobody really cared to keep ~20 year old articles.

So if i want to read one article from website XYZ, i may need to pay 00001 credits and if I want to read another article from website yyy, i may need to pay 00002 credits?
How would yyy or xyz content creators/journalists actually make a living from this, though?
Are you really interested in reading a 50 year old newspaper article about a collision that happened midday on Saturday afternoon in your community newspaper?
Yeah, the industry focused on 4k (and soon to be 8k) for some reason. I guess the same reason there's a decrease in good acting and an increase in special effects.
> When I think about it, there's no reason every single streaming movie even needs to be in 4K.
I agree. I'd rather have better audio and actors not whisper their lines, forcing you to either turn on CC or turn up the volume. I wouldn't want to purposefully stream in 4k anyway - I don't really have a reason.
The content I watch on YT is, IMO, much more interesting than the netflix shows anyway, and recorded with much less expensive gear.

And i also assume from freezing to death?
First hand experience tells me that living outside in a large metro city during the summer was easier than trying to stay warm in the same city during the really cold nights.
I'm not saying it was _enjoyable_ during the summer, but I didn't have the concern of hypothermia during those really cold early mornings.
I think I would have just pulled out my audio recorder and played the file on the computer.
The files were very small and recorded with the internal mic on the computer, so it's not as though these are high quality recordings, they're more sentimental to whoever owned the laptop.
well it doesn't necessarily have to be AI generated content.
I rarely read those posts, but when I do, I find myself actually questioning if it's really true. I suspect some people have too much time on their hands and make stories up for reddit karma instead of writing journals and books that nobody will read. At least they're exploring creative writing, though.
This annoys me, along with people asking about a jira but just sending the number. That means I'll need to copy it and go to my browser to type in the URL and the jira number.
Chances are the colleague was just looking at the jira in their browser, so why wouldn't they copy/paste the link...
Just about three weeks ago, I made a fossil repo to keep track of my recipies.
I write them in markdown and use fossil's webserver to be able to access them
while in the kitchen. If I need to see ingridents while i'm out, i activate my
tailscale VPN on my phone and browse to the fossil webserver.
Thankfully i'm not the only one who has oven-engineered a simple solution.
