I would agree it's not necessarily the best solution, but corporations have proven over and over again that they can't be trusted to steward data long-term.

I wish there was something kind of like bit torrent that lived on people's computers that helped maintain a certain amount of data for every person if they wanted to (even if it's just text data, like journals or stories or a simple message to future people that might stumble across it, whatever), that would remain even when they're gone, and can be accessed by people who do searches by certain types of metadata (or by name), and didn't cost any money or web 3 tokens or crap to keep the platform going. That would be my preferred method. I've even been tempted to work on building such a solution at times.

But until then, web 3 seems to have the better solution to what's already out there at the moment.
