It's A Digital Disease!

It wouldn't be a hoard without keeping excessive data, right?

Once you've watched a show, what do you do with it?

Does it remain in the library taking up 3GB per episode, even though you're unlikely to rewatch that episode of Last Week Tonight, or Breaking Bad for at least the next few years?

Do you just move it offline to a simple external hard drive, or is the pool just that big it doesn't matter?

Besides, not every episode is available to get again once it's gone, so best to keep it just encase.
