> Maintain access 20 year old fitness data? What for?

Why not? I have about 12 years worth because that's when I started tracking, no reason to ever delete it. Saving the 0.001% (actual value, I just checked) on disk space isn't a motivation.

It's fun to review old data. Occasionally useful, even. Mostly for fun.

> And here's the thing: As the memories fade, so does interest in the photos. 10 years ago you still remember clearly. 20 years ago is another era.

Wait another 30 years and those now-50 year old photos will be treasure.

I don't look much at my photos from 20 years ago, that's pretty recent so I remember it well. But photos from 50 years ago are quite the treasure. Even older ones (like when grandparents were toddlers) are invaluable. Wish there were tons more of those.

But yes that's photos. Fitness data is certainly less interesting, but still fun and costs approximately zero space to keep.
