Hoarding

I'm guessing I'm not the only hoarder of videofiles here. I have way too much. I spend so much time collecting and almost zero watching. How do you guys sort through what you have? I have many terrabytes of unwatched videos. I'm not gonna live long enough to watch it all. But I cant get myself to delete it either.

How are your guys systems? I have a keep-folder and an unsorted folder, but the unsorted is enormous.

Help.

I my case, I use a Plex Media Server with 12TB disks and I organize my movies by 3 sections :
-Watched Movies
-Watched Series
-To watch soon
-Downloaded

About watching movies it's not sure to do all but I try to make one movie by night !!

Good luck.

For me, I don't hoard nearly as much as you, but I don't save stuff to "watch it later", I save it so it doesn't disappear. I'm not even that old and I've personally witnessed, over my 20 years on the internet, stuff disappear. It disappears all the time. While you're reading this, some porn video that millions saw on one of the tube sites 15 years ago just disappeared. And I'm not talking about "illegal" stuff which imo should not be archived as that's just perpetuating the crime. But the truth is that the internet is not eternal. I sometimes go over on abandoned forums and stare at topics filled with 404 links or pictures and wonder what actually used to be there, lol. Like what did people wank to in 2004?

So yeah, sorry for derailing, but think about it this way, you are hoarding so maybe you can help people find stuff in the future. If not for the folks at other forums (I don't think it's allowed to name, but it specializes in vintage porn), so much vintage content would have disappeared already. I'm talking magazines that people took the time to scan and post online. Now imagine those that never got scanned, etc.
