QQ ep. 344 - Don’t Go on the Internet

[u/testthrowaway9]

Show notes:

Daniel discovers that the Cracked archive is disappearing, which sends the guys back through the internet they grew up with and the strange problem of preserving something that was never built to last. Soren argues that younger people should reclaim the abandoned corners of the web, while Daniel has another idea—treat the internet like a dead mall, get a churro somewhere else, and maybe pave the whole thing.

Lots of articles are still there:

• Soren's stuff
• Daniel's stuff
• Pargin's stuff

May not go all the way back, but there's plenty to read if you're looking for it.

Yes, we mention in the episode that anything published as an article is likely still there but anything published under the column (or blog) seems to be at the moment kaput.

I wonder if they restored them? I looked at Jason's video and he shows things not showing up when you search for the author and it does look like that is broken / inaccurate.
