The way the www is going, it seems like downloading a copy of libgen, i.e., nonfiction books, and scimag, i.e., academic journals, via torrent, would be more valuable than archiving websites, in general. These primary sources are part of the material used to train so-called "AI" anyway. The problem is that this so-called "AI" also includes all the garbage from the www.
Worst case is eventually these books and journals will again become publicly inaccessible but "AI" will be offered as a bogus substitute; a future where few people will do research using primary materials anymore, they will just submit questions to a remote "AI" server. Truth will be decimated.
