Maybe so many home videos went viral that people just aren't that impressed by it anymore.
But old videos like that will ALWAYS be valuable because they're a time capsule and you can't MAKE MORE OF THEM.
In the same token, we have the opportunity to make videos today, so that means that sometime far in the future, they could be useful or valuable...
Less than these home movies are, just because it's so obscenely accessible to basically every person on the planet to film themselves now, lol.
But I feel like that's where the human element comes into play here... we're going into an individualistic society that also has a worldwide community aspect to it, so INDIVIDUALS and their stories will be valued, which means super old footage of their lives will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about them. For whatever reason.
If everything doesn't get wiped out by EMPs and the internet really does last for a LONG time... it'll be an archive of so many people who have lived. With AI, you'd be able to make 'new' content with old, long dead people as the main star. Period. That's what is coming. I think it's morbid, potentially a huge moral violation, but it also sounds... inevitable. I'm not mad at it.
