I have a hard time reconcilating wanting things to be archived and the right to be forgotten. Sometimes I wish things I posted a decade ago were preserved because I lost the original, but other times I requested a DNP/removal of some old art reposted. So it's very conflicting. I've considered making a "vault" if I ever switched hosts of offline copies of older things if that day comes.
"Everything online is online forever" can be a relief when it counts, until the thing that was important to find wasn't there forever. I compromised with myself between conservation/privacy in one part by creating a folder on my own computer for the webpages I'd retired. It's come in handy more than a few times.
