    If you are saying 330 movies is ‘hoarding’, I don’t know what to tell you.

    When I grew up in the 90s, we had almost 50 VHS movies.

    Wealthier friends of mine had up to or over 100 or 200.

    Now what took a large shelfing unit or cabinet… fits into about the size of a brick.

    Also… you are missing that digital data can be essentially instantly copied, duplicated, and shared with others.

    You are also entirely discounting the idea that infrastructure could collapse, you are assuming that using it as we do now, will remain as relatively inexpensive as it is now, forever.

    I am not so optimistic.

    From that standpoint, it is less hoarding, as it is archiving.
