Really depends on the content. Tons of websites are going down everyday, link rot is a real thing. Internet archive or people don't save nearly everything.

Something I should do more often is saving mhtml copies of webpages I find interesting.

They consume so much disc space. I wish that their was some intermediate format that would have a file size only two orders of magnitude larger than the webpage text, yet provide enough formatting to be useful.
