What the hell is this story about?
The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices
Nobody thought streaming was going to be free forever and ever. The apps didn’t do anything except react to the market and lose content when the studios started their own apps.
I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.

Michael Tsai shares a few snippets of people lamenting that older digital items are not being preserved here.
One snippet from Kelsey Lewin:
Anyone should be able to easily explore, research and play classic video games, in the same way that they can read classic novels, listen to classic albums, and watch classic movies. But outdated copyright laws are preventing institutions like ours from doing our jobs.
Does Kelsey Lewin really believe that all classic novels, classic albums, and classic movies are preserved and available? That human civilization has saved everything?
The olds are realizing that the adage “everything will be on the internet forever” isn’t true.
Life is not permanent. Objects are not permanent. The internet is not permanent.
