#2Curioulsy, what about digital hoarding? endlessly bookmarking things to never visit them again.

Or storing terabytes of data offline.
Probably similar reasons but with less real-world harm.

#4I am not sure if I am in that group. But somewhat counter intuitively I would actually hoard a lot less if I have huge amount of money. i.e Most things could easily be replaced or bought.
I do have videos and music files, but I dont think I hoard them. I keep them because I know none of the file / video / music streaming services can be trusted. I think of it as a Distribution problem. Not a hoarding problem.

Hey, what's wrong with actually owning your data? :p
(I'm watching Shin Chan again lately. Last time I used Netflix, years ago, I remember they took it down due to some licensing reason. That actually spurred me on to get it, and now I can watch it any time. Muaha)

imo this is exactly the line of thought that leads to bona fide hoarding
they're not crazy (most of them). it's an unfortunate set of circumstances, or they went in the right direction, but too far/with bad timing

this is a sign the person hasn't yet fully ubderstood and accepted the inevitability of their own death. in their mind, they will live forever and eventually have time to visit each bookmark.

This is the reason why I could consider myself a hoarder, but

tells me that I might just be lazy.
And digital hoarding is not too bad since I almost never see my bookmarks, it doesn't affect me much.
Re: Hoarding
#9I think should be a balance. I went full digital Marie Kondo a few years back, and I regret it.
I'm into a lot of niche media, like covers or small indie band scenes. And at the beginning having everything in Spotify or YouTube seems nice... Until there is a rights issue or something worse (like an artist being doxed) and the song it's deleted and became lost media.
Now I backup everything in a 2x2TB HDD just in case (Mirrored across 2 computers using syncthing, similar to Raid 1) and seeing how my music playlist in YouTube it's full of gray thumbnails, I think was a good investment.

#10It seems like rich version of Diogenes syndrome, instead of taking from rubbish you buy them new (so you accumulate more slowly).
