certain websites should be treated like landmarks if they have enough historical/cultural relevance to a professional industry
site should never go down, and you can just lock it so no one can change anything to em
there's already classics missing, that MTV version of Volcano High with 3stacks/Lil Jon/Snoop/Mya doing the voiceovers is literally ONE LINK AWAY from being completely lost on the internet now

It's over.
Yeah
While this is just the tip of the iceberg (it being just MTV News), the reality is that its becoming impossible to do research of the past, because the past is getting erased.
It reminds me of a time when I was living in Greenville, and my wife was trying to do research on education and childcare in the county. It was so weird of how every single article or news outlet either had the news swept under the rug, fabricated, or not even mentioned at all. You never hear about murders or any sort of crime due to how the media for that area push the idea that Greenville is this beautiful unicorn, when its a ticking time bomb of racism, corruption, and hidden agendas
Same goes for music. Its getting to the point, I can't reflect on a artist interview, read about a incident that was isolated, or the direction of a former record label as it fails to exist.
Even the fan sites are long gone.
The internet right now is in a transitional stage to go after the lower common folk, rather it being a wealth of knowledge. At this point of my life, I just take advantage of the library while we still have time before that privilege gets taken from the people.

I understand that airing music videos on TV is a dead medium post-YouTube, but I think MTV could've maintained mild credibility if it kept it at least music-adjacent (Making The Band/X-Factor/Dancing With The Stars type competition/reality shows, music docs, airing films known for their soundtracks/starring musicians/original movies, a 30 min/hour block of music news)
There's just too much history & things constantly going on in the music industry for them to have to rely on teen moms & a worse version of Tosh.0
Just saw they have over 40 seasons of Ridiculousness

It's true that the leftover of the old internet are getting wiped out.
It's started when youtube stopped being an 'innocent' video sharing plateform
We ain't ready for the new internet
RIP

Noticed how back then there was variety of websites to go to, and how nowadays it's just limited to 3 or 4?
The plan is financial and political overseeing. Eliminate the free thoughts and independence, to welcome a cogwheel of workers and brainless entertainment.
Notice how the blog era died a quick death, how the podcast industry reshift from community to profit?
The Soundcloud era forcing musicians to accept pay to play ala subscriptions and bot usage.
Matter of fact, AI in general damn near runs 80 percent of the Internet as the algorithm lays the strip to the direction of manipulation.
Lately, my Internet time been just limited because there's nothing else to do. No insightful sites to read because you don't know if it's AI driven, YouTube became this dystopian swamp of rage driven content, and it's like idiocy became the endgame.
It's all in one big cycle. I'm making sure I get all the knowledge I can get while it's free to the public. By next year or so, it's uncertain of how much longer we can even get news or sources that are credible.
Reality became fabricated.
When my parents were divorced. I stay home alone while my siblings were at my moms and my dad was at work.
That summer that Real World New Orelans came out, I watched MTV all fukking day til my dad came home.
I used to do it in his TV room
