Even works of art meant to outlive mere mortals aren’t immune to fate: Libraries can burn down or close, film strips disintegrate, and Snapchat messages self-destruct.

When it comes to saving online streaming video for upcoming generations, the future looks bleak. But it’s not too late. We have the technology and the power to preserve streaming art, but we have to act now.
