For fans and scholars of pop culture, 2024 may go down as the year the internet shrank.

Despite the immense archiving capabilities of the internet, we’re living through an age of mass deletion.

Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) scrubbed the contents of Cartoon Network’s video-heavy website, a portal of clips and show episodes that had existed since 1998 and that now redirects to Max .

We may be at the precipice of a new age of lost media today .

The widespread disregard for media preservation mirrors the shortsightedness and neglect of Hollywood studios nearly a century ago .

Even the worst silent films from the 1920s or earlier held valuable historical significance.

Their inaccessibility today is a warning of what can be lost when Hollywood prioritises short-term profit.
