Have you ever gone back and looked at pre-2016 threads on other forums with embedded videos? It's a wasteland of "This account has been suspended" and "This video is no longer available".

It's just too bad we don't have some uniquely secure different type of index to catalogue the historic changes that occur on the internet through time. Someone should make some kind of machine that can look back, like waaaay back to what was on the internet. And it should be preserved like the doomsday vault in Norway but with more armed guards.
