the erasure of 20+ years of news stories here is yet another sign that future generations will have much richer knowledge of the 1930s than they will the GW Bush and Obama years. The wayback machine is carrying a lot of weight these days. If that goes, adios: variety.com/2024/digital...

I have been struck of late of how much is missing. 404 error. These are stories and sites and docs. Poof. Because I had all of it mapped in my head. Again, I’m 71 and been at this awhile.

Awful. God love the wayback machine for sure but you need to know the original links. Not a substitute for just paying the relative peanuts to keep this stuff online.

anyone who RTs this and says "hunh, MTV had news?" gets blocked & can fuck off into the sun. Jessica Hopper and Kaleb Horton wrote for that site, among so many others: here's Kaleb's obit for Merle Haggard, now scrubbed: web.archive.org/web/20210915...

Wayback may not help here. The article has this: “but according to Hiatt older MTV News articles do not show up via Wayback Machine”.

It costs pennies to host a static site on existing infrastructure. But that doesn't help the bottom line.

We need to print things out on non acid paper. So much of 2000s and 2010s is already lost.

I’m an extensive googler of news items and I’ve never once had any search results that included links to MTV. Sucks that it’s gone but I just wonder how many people were reading it.

Yes, there will come a time where we have more photos of the US Civil ware era then we do of the present day due to the robust process used in that era for developing photos verses the processes we use today. I have printed photos for the 70's that are almost to faded to see clearly.
