You’d be surprised.

I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who use their Instagram or Facebook as basically the history of their social lives, where all their memories are, the local copies long gone.

It’s a terrible idea, but I’m certain people are doing it.

YouTube videos degrade in quality over time too, as they reencode from one codec du jour to the next.

Heck, even Google drive pulled that stunt where they stopped storing photos in original resolution.

Point being, none of these companies exist primarily to archive your content - they exist to monetise it.

If you want to safeguard your content in original quality, then you need to either put it on a cloud storage that you are PAYING for, or keep it on your own hardware (and with backups)

Japan is like this too, and I loved to see that when I was living there.

The bus drivers often wear nice uniforms and white gloves, and clearly take a lot of care in their appearance and work. And people give them respect.

I wish it was like that everywhere, because being able to have pride in what you do and be respected for it is such an important thing that everyone deserves to have - regardless of what your job is.

I feel trypophobia quite strongly with some triggers, even things like budding plants pushing through the ground can make my akin crawl. But for some reason crumpets are okay.

I guess my brain just sees the crumpet texture as being like a macro bread texture, which is okay because it’s kinda bready.

In English too, the colloquial name for tardigrades is “water bears” :D

That’s what you get for being indecisive!
