The Importance of Physical Prints

With rising censorship on the internet, information is much harder to access and/or archive. We are about to be forced to go back to archiving physical prints to access information. Corporations, banks, and governments are actively working to destroy the world no access to knowledge.

5:50 i heard alot of people make fun of game journalists for not knowing anything. like that famous clip of a game journalist failing in the tutorial of cuphead meanwhile theres videos of 5yearold kids managing to beat the tutorial of the game.

i agree with you about news and history and science stuff getting physical but i think for movie or game reviews. random youtubers and vidliiers you find or irl friends can tell you alot more about movies or games then journalists and critics do.
or you can just watch or play a game/movie yourself blind without spoilers and if you dont like it then you can figure out a refund or something.

i like physical books more then digital. easier to read for me idk why and i can read them in power or internet outages (which is usually the only times i read books these days) only issue is that its alot easier for me to get digital books since i dont have to go to a store. but then again i can just download the pdf and then print the pages myself onto paper and stamp it together.

also this is a benefit of books in general over videos and anything digital is that you dont need any device to look at it so theoritically if the books are kept in good condition someone 1,000 or 2,000years from now can read the same pages. but digital media i have a fear it will go extinct within the next 200years and historians wont know much about life in the 2010s and 2020s because we store all info and events on digital not physical books and photo albums.

only issue is that digital media in general. i dont think will be able to last 200years maybe even 100. you need electricity to use PCs and phones tablets etc and we have to hope they dont all break down within the next 100years

CDs rot really fast (most ps1 game discs dont work anymore only 30years old tech)
sdds die after a few years of no use. hdds last at most 30years. eventually every part of the internet and every mp4 and mp3 and pdf file will not be able to be viewed anymore

thats my fear is that i want historians 100s or 1000s of years from now to able to remember and talk about us in the 21st century or even talk about VidLii. im worried they wont be able to remember us because we store everything in devices that only last at most 30years before rotting or currupting or degrading.

like we know little about stuff 2,000years ago but atleast they wrote down stuff on physical paper and carved stone that can last centuries. while we dont even do that.

I've seen only a handful of printed newspapers in the last 5 years, and they're usually only small local ones with very limited readership. Printed news is basically dead, whether that's good or bad.

In some ways you're right about digital media being more censorable, but all you need to do is save things you value online and the problem is solved for you. I archive videos and pages all the time and store them on my computer with backups. I still have pages I saved from when I was 8 years old from the family computer. Keeping archives of digital media is very doable long-term as long as you do regular backups.

You could say that keeping digital backups is inconvenient, and you'd be right, but storing huge amounts of paper is very difficult as well, and making copies of them to distribute is even harder.

Your video completely ignores the benefits of digital distribution and copying as an anti-censorship measure.

@edray1416 I'm not gonna make a video when I can type a comment that explains my point my succinctly

You basically just ignored the things I said in my comment, and I don't know why
