Paragraph

This is vitally important if you care about preserving culture.

We’ve all lost music, art and writing on websites and platforms that closed down.

It’s better to release work in an environment that can’t be deleted by a boardroom or made invisible by algorithms.

Another example of permanently lost media due to a sole company’s decisions

So frustrating 😞 

Will probably still be a few years before people actually realize what has been lost 

At least we’re able to build in a permanent way onchain for those of us who see that far ahead

So sad … but truly inevitable for most media from the past 😇

Everyone should publish onchain or at least get Distributed Press backend for their CMS! 🙌

Another big hit for music journalism! 2024’s been a hard year for the field.

Not only has the work of many talented people simply vanished from one day to the next, but also the cultural documentation and impact MTV’s had on entire generations ceased to exist. Hard to imagine a reason that could justify a decision like this.
