I visited lto homepage and it said that they have sustainable long term roadmap for decade which may lead to petabyte/tape.

To compare it with size of mainstream and highend medias, 1080p video was 5TB/year. 4k might be 20TB/year, and 8k might be 80TB/year. And most luxurious audio files like 32bit/384khz flac is 25TB/year And practical widespread audios like 320kbps mp3 is 1.25TB/year

It means that single future tape with 625TB can store acceptable quality media of 100 years.

At this point decision making becomes irrelevant as stastically unlikely. And you can bruteforce whatever you play.

To summarize. Ever increasing storage capacity will automize offline archiving as semi infinite storage capacity supply far exceeding demand will enable people to everything they recognize until they die.

Lack of mental demand to be selective about what to archive or to make long term plan budget for subscription Will make it mainstream. Leading to golden age of archiving.
