I think you’ve made their point. In your original post you say “all media”. In this one the media has to “make the cut”. Who decides where the line is? Different groups of people have different lines and group 2 could purge all the media group 1 saved because they feel it is indecent.
Is Rocky Horror Picture Show worth saving? Some groups will say yes while others no and when it first came out the no group was a lot bigger.
Pink Flamingos is currently preserved by the U.S. National Film Registry, selected in 2021. If selection was happening even a couple years from now, I have a hard time imagining that happening.
There’s some countries OP’s model could work in. But at least a dual model that includes citizen preservation efforts is warranted (and with it the relevant legislation to avoid it being a criminal act - though pirates gonna pirate, and I love 'em for it).
