It was known that this will happen the moment Internet became a revenue stream for millions of people. Nobody has an economic incentive to keep history around forever, plus our hosting offerings and crappy internet speeds in most of the world don’t help either.
There are a lot of people, myself included, that would donate some bandwidth and disk space to participate in a globally self-replicating network of data quants but making such software (and getting the law enforcement to not hate it) is apparently not a priority of anyone. And that’s how we find ourselves in the current situation.
