Wow! This still exists. Think of all of the wasted data that gets backed up on the internet every day. Some bits on a server's array of hard drives that money from advertising is paying for. Servers being powered by valuable fossil fuels that get mined from the earth. Strip mined land. Oil wells dug deep into the ocean. Statistical data on a pie chart about internet traffic, and another chart about petroleum profits. This is some of that.
