I was actually looking at the early B3ta newsletters last night (easy to access if you know how).I was mostly struck by how many of the links are now dead...some of the content is available via other means (I laughed a lot watching a YT video of Hacker or Spacker), but the supposed permanence of the 'net at the time is starkly highlighted by observing what has been lost in less than two decades...

Sad, isn't it?I remember trying to look at some pretty famous old sites on the Wayback Machine, and most of them are broken.
And almost all of Facebook's content will be lost one day. The content is not accessible to archivists, and I can't see Zuckerberg giving a shit about preserving it.
