Weird to blame a file format for a poor archiving job. I’m pretty sure if they did their jobs the source/project would still be available. How is restoring paintings from the 1500s any different?

It’s the walled garden they supported. What about Facebook comments on their articles? Think the realization that the internet is hard to keep immutable. These companies chose to use the easiest road instead of the best road and they are now paying the price.

As long they are more concerned with a/b testing their headlines then using more open standards I find it weird that blame flash for it.

Perhaps they should talk to musea instead. How they are preserving digital art.

You didn’t have an alternative in 2001 to flash for interactive media online and the source material is flash.
