The good thing about the Internet is it allows people to share, collect, and collate information. The bad thing is that the vast majority of this information is transitory. Here today, gone tomorrow.* if it isn't, it functionally is. People have to know that info is out there, and more importantly, how to access that info.

I could have the most accurate and up-to-date list of every single example of hypocrisy by every politician but it functionally doesn't exist if it's buried within a stack of papers in an overcrowded folder in an even more overcrowded filing cabinet stuffed between rows upon rows of identical filing cabinets within the basement of a building behind a door saying "Beware of the leopard." And the building is abandoned and in the bad part of town.

*A paper I read in my Master's program said something like 80% of hyperlinks are broken within 5 years. No I don't have a cite I read it years ago lol, grains of salt etc.
