I'm advocating for the letting go of things. Certainly there are things that are valuable to preserve, but preservation for preservation's sake, I think, is unhealthy. Will society really benefit from preserving every geocities site, every newgrounds flash game, every scrap of poorly written slashfic? Probably not. Are there instances of each that are culturally relevant? Sure, and it might be worth keeping those around longer.
