Data hoarding
A noble cause.
If the document isn’t DRMed, then it would be pretty noble. Who knows, maybe once the original document is lost in the sands of time and becomes lost media, your copies will be the only few ones left.
True hoarding mentality!
The Google Syndrome

That’s a dangerous combination…
Assuming it is Safari browser on iOS… and if you just want all your tabs gone in seconds: just long press „Done“ in tab view and a „Close all“ option will appear.

Archivebox is your friend
I use a macrodroid macro to submit links to my archive box for me.

But my friend, by downloading all this shit from the internet archive I, too, become an archivist!
Good policy. You should always be collecting reading material faster than you can read it.
giving myself side-eye regarding my e-book collection
I have a collection of over 80k ebooks. I got most of them in huge download packs decades ago, and removed duplicates. it’s a surprisingly small folder.
I did the math on it long ago and it would take more than 200 years, reading an average of one full book a day, every day, to get through them all.
So I’m happy just knowing that if I get through some of them, it’s better than none of them. Time is limited, make the most of it by doing what sparks joy, and not worrying about what you didn’t get to.
I have a bookmark folder with links to interesting articles that I plan to read someday…
that’s what torrenting is for, by seeding you also help other people download files they’ll never read
Excuse you, you can’t download books from Internet Archive anymore, you can only rent one of their 10 digital copies (thanks publishing companies).
Blame internet archive for acting like they weren’t violating copyright for some things. They screwed the pooch for us
I finally cleared out my “e-books” folder on Google Drive which had PDFs from like 10-15 years ago that I’ve never read 🤣
I don’t because I don’t really have the storage space. But I would if I could afford to, just so that I could have the folder shared on soulseek. Preserve and share, especially the niche, oop, or otherwise hard to find literature.
So I just keep the stuff I will read, which is still a pretty big chunk of data, despite ebooks being fairly small individually.
