“This new deletion policy is terrible for preservation of archival media” that’s the point, bro. That’s explicitly the point, though they’ll never admit it. Major social media platforms straight up do not want archival media to be a thing – it disrupts their business model by existing, and it’s hard to monetise. In their perfect world, media more than 90 days old would vanish in a puff of smoke and be irrecoverably forgotten.
yeah this is part and parcel of turning everything into a service. no more buying things once now becomes no more paying for unlimited access.
