Wrote this a while back to vent about a noticeable digital trend that I felt was happening a lot at the time and of course still happens. Originally posted this in May 2023.

Pieces of the Past Lost to Digital Dust&nbsp;

Photos of those now gone&nbsp;

 

Videos from accounts and channels their owners left in the past

 

Among many other things we thought would always last&nbsp;

 

But a lot has changed including the ways of the world wide web

 

So companies try to make virtual space in the hopes their money won't possibly ebb&nbsp;

 

They do so and give the reason why as something like security&nbsp;

 

But that reasoning doesn't hold up and to most it's plain to see&nbsp;

 

We see the way this is becoming an unfortunate trend&nbsp;

 

Of bringing accounts old and unused for whatever reasons&nbsp;

 

Just taking up space now being brought to an end&nbsp;

 

Taking down the accounts of those lost or who lost passwords to the seasons

 

But those points aren't considered in the face of changing policy

 

Instead change is being implemented somewhat quick and hostilely

 

With people scrambling to archive whatever they can

 

From these old accounts, trying to stay ahead of corporate plans&nbsp;

 

To prevent a lot of old memories and data potentially being lost&nbsp;

 

The internet was something believed to be sacred and forever&nbsp;

 

Making it easy to forget that unfortunately it too has a cost&nbsp;
