Just… please, stop hating on stuff that doesn’t concern you and focus on spreading positivity, man. That’s what’s gonna make the world a better place. Not hoping that stuff you don’t like and understand will fail. You’re just bringing yourself down.
No it isn’t. What will make the world a better place is the death of twitch and youtube and the replacement
and proliferation of decentralised services like peertube. Twitch is one of the feuds of the oligarchy and deserves do be forgotten, permanently. For every cent made on twitch the CPAC got funds to elect people like Trump.
I’d love a future where everything is decentralized and federated. But in the here and now, it’s just not pragmatically feasible for any independent non-commercial service to challenge the sheer amount of bandwidth and infrastructure a service like Twitch needs. Look at how many competitors have already tried to take on Twitch and failed miserably, and those were commercial startups with VC money.
Furthermore, even in the utopian future where ActivityPub streaming takes over, I still wouldn’t want all this history to be lost. Like this is such a devastating blow to speedrun.com leaderboards, for example, so many records will now be dead links.
I can’t relate. If it is/was important someone has archived it. These companies are an arm of the oligarchy, if losing these memories is the first step to their demise, then I’m all for it.
Individually, likely few, collectively, all of them. Make it available via torrent and seed your achievements for all to see. So many solutions that don’t involve the oligarchy directly.

Who has the space to archive all of speedrun.com’s leaderboards?

Even for a mass effort, there just isn’t enough time to grab everything for how suddenly this was announced.
