>>20881967Well, i'll give you an example
A music group i like uploaded a free song on their Soundcloud back 15 years ago or so, using a Mediafire link to download the song in lossless ( A .wav file )
Obviously, the song not being very known and the download being dead for years, no one really archived that song in lossless, so nowadays, you can also ever find it in shitty compressed formats, the .wav file is impossible to find
That was the case until i started to search for it via multiple canals, then i finally found it
Took me years of passive search, asking people, creating accounts on shady websites or looking at old ass torrents and things such as Soulseek
So i did my part, reuploaded the file online on multiple websites and such, and made a few posts on social media about it, saying that i finally found it
