I was thinking of YOLOing my media collection too, but at the same time I'm scared of downloading lots of things and then losing everything and having to download everything from scratch again.
Yeah. For me, the vast majority of my media collection are rips of the blu-rays and DVDs I have in a box in the closet. So recovery is just annoying. There are a few somewhat obscure shows (or shows with massively generic or reused names) that I might never be able to find again but... whatever.
But I definitely have a few porn videos I found on DC++ ten (... twenty?) years ago that I have never been able to find again after accidentally deleting the "Special Textures" folder of my Unreal Tournament directory.
