Ultimately you have to give a human direct responsibility for it; or in your case, a series of humans.

I'd suggest you do buy a domain, but set up a legal/financial framework so that a long-standing law firm will keep up the payments for N decades (or for as long as the firm & its successors exist).

This is exactly the wrong advice, instead put your data on the blockchain, preferably Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum.

"Free" data storage for as long as the internet exists.

Make the barcode to your transaction with the data, anyone with a brain and time can figure it out from there.

What generalizations suggests is what people have been doing successfully for hundreds of years to maintain things much more complicated than a website (a multi-generational family estate, for example). What you're suggesting has never been tried for any period of time. Tell me again how his advice is wrong and yours is right?

Oh ye of so much faith.

? "Free" data storage for as long as the internet exists.

The big blockchains are robust, but I'm wondering if it's not impossible for them to not need the full blockchain at some point.

Whether its right or wrong advice depends on GPs audience.
