@papalonian@possiblylinux127 They say the internet never forgets, but still... An overwhelming percentage of content on the internet will be lost to time, because websites die constantly and most things aren't archived. It's also yet to be seen if archive sites like archive.org survive or not.
Individual websites come and go, yes, but COVID literally dominated every and all aspects of everyday life for the better part of 2020. It's like saying that everyone is gonna forget that WWII happened because most of the newspapers from the time have stopped running.
I saw pictures of everyone wearing masks during the 1919 pandemic. And that was before everyone had cameras in their pockets. OP is exaggerating, people aren't going to forget about it.
Not at all. You still see "mask required" signs that just haven't been taken down. There's wedding pictures. Every professional photographer was taking masked photos because for a year or two, many companies would only publish masked photos in certain contexts.... They will find the pictures for the history books.
I worked for a company that started manufacturing masks (the N95 ones) during the pandemic and we still make and sell masks. I won't be forgetting since I still work on the machines.
You could post them on Wikimedia Commons with a free license to let anybody use them (giving you credits), so they would be preserved for the history of humankind.
