May I suggest you sleep on this, sort your thoughts, and write another, shorter post instead of this "written on the fly" stream of consciousness.
To me you are not making a whole lot of sense. What is it you are concerned about -- some beloved content going away? New formats popping up that you don't like? (Why not just ignore them?) Can't find relevant answers via Google anymore? (Have you tried LLMs for more complex queries?) And how is "freezing some old computers" supposed to help with changing offerings on the internet?
