Disney Erased FiveThirtyEight From the Internet - r/journalism

This r/journalism post hits harder than the average Reddit outrage by exposing Disney's quiet deletion of the entire FiveThirtyEight archive, erasing over a decade of election models and sports analytics. The thread racked up 47,000 upvotes and triggered an immediate response from the Internet Archive, which confirmed it had preserved the content. Top comments called it historical vandalism, and the unified Reddit reaction made this a cautionary tale about corporate platform dependencies, with the story spreading to 12 other subreddits within 24 hours.
