    Awesome work! Big respect to all the data hoarders out there, doing their bit to preserve the thoughts and opinions of the many!

      Data hoarders are a weird bunch that is absolutely essential to society. (Speaking as a steam game hoarder who has played less than 5% of the games I’ve bought. I just can’t seem to stop buying games)

        You’re an archivist. Though I like that you own the term ‘data hoarder’ so nobody can use it as a pejorative.

          Yeah I think data hoarder is like the geek/nerd from 90s. They’re (almost) no longer a pejorative, but rather a sort of badge of honor. With how important it is getting to archive data for personal or for public use, I can see data hoarder becoming a badge of honor in the future.
