Once you find something interesting, what prevents you to backup an article or thread or whatever page on your own computer effectively protecting it from erasing and available to reposting where you think it will be apropriate?
There even addons for browsers that pack the page you see into one HTML page you could easily manage without dealing with multiple small files.... (one such named SingleFile addon f.e.)
Relying on other people computers for storing data you assume important is one of the worst consequences of all that centralised/social/cloud/whatever marketing.
Most of the Internet is already gone, so unless you've been saving everything offline up to this point, you've already mostly missed the boat.
They're clearly planning a future wipe of all consumer storage using some kind of EMP 'cyber attack', 'solar flare' or similar, and they continue the effort to phase-out (and literally shame) the ability to read older storage mediums with 'outdated' 'insecure' 'obsolete' 'non-green' (and soon 'racist') interfaces & protocols, so expect to lose the ability to read your optical storage as well.
They're now going to work on the archive sites.
Archive.org has begun inserting "misinformation" warnings for archived pages, removing millions of long-existing files under the guise of "copyright compliance" and they just partnered with Google which tells us exactly what's coming next.
I personally have many terabytes of offline webpages & files, but it doesn't even amount to one-trillionth of the information that Google & friends have horded, and are now well into the process of erasing from the Internet.
All of this is additional in-the-weeds discussion though.
The image I posted has a very specific purpose:
(1) A reminder for people who know the Internet is being erased but keep forgetting, (2) an informer for those who, somehow, didn't even notice that it's being erased (despite over 90% of Google's search results no longer existing), and (3) a reminder that all alternative technologies and services become captured shortly after they become popular (if they weren't secretly captured all along).
It is laughable number, if you are not into storing 4k multihour videostreams.
Few TB HDD is more than enough to store all important knowledge of humanity.
Storage medium lifetime and cost of replacement.
Use HDD with CMR. They last for decades.
Most of the Internet is already gone
Yes, because all was like "cool, let's save important things on the corporation computers for free!"

They have nothing even close to such abilities, unless you use some shitty OS from Apple/Google/Microsoft. With any non-mainstream Linux or FreeBSD you are perfectly safe.
Optical storage in form of user-writable CD/DVD/BD never was reliable. It is factory made ones that was printed at factory, not burned in user's drive could last for a decades, if plastic was good enough to not mist with time.
Most reliable storage is a magnetic tape. Even today it is the best you could get. Not very cheap, but extremely reliable. Then comes HDDs with traditional (CMR) recording. Pretty affordable and you still could buy CMR HDDs for affordable price.
All other storages require to be copied or rewritten from time to time. Worst are SSD's and other that use flash memory. It leaks charge in few years when not powered, so it couldnt be stored on a shelf or in safe as HDDs could.

That's what for archive.org was created. To force people to surrender their own local storage in favor of some online service.

Good for you. Why don't you want to tell how do you store, categorise and regularize information you have? It will be much more effective than a thousand memes and screenshots.
but it doesn't even amount to one-trillionth of the information that Google & friends have horded, and are now well into the process of erasing from the Internet.
You overestimate the information amount in internet. All that consumer crowd who rushed into internet when computers and fiber become affordable added very little real information. 99% of all shit Google & friends have horded is a total, useless crap produced and consumed by normies.
