Eh...on the one hand yeah, time marches on and physical media degrades. On the other, if you have things on VHS there are various ways you can transfer them to digital format. CDs can be converted to mp3 before they degrade, and if it is degraded for some at least you can probably still find a secondhand one and use that. I have binders full of burned fansubs that still work, and if my computer doesn't have a disc drive I can buy an external one. I can transfer my media as many times as it takes and won't ever lose it barring something catastrophic like a fire or complete hard drive meltdown (and for the latter I have more than one backup).

By contrast, when HBO takes a show off streaming it's gone unless the pirates saved it. Amazon can take books off my Kindle, Apple Music can overwrite my own mp3s with different versions. That's a whole different level of unable to preserve beyond simply tech degrading.
