404 Media, Jason Koebler – “You may have noticed that we’ve been talking a fair bit about link rot, archiving, and the ephemerality of the internet. Last week, I was scrolling TikTok and learned about Cat Janice, a dance pop artist with the biggest song on TikTok right now. Janice used her TikTok to document her battle with cancer, which she died from earlier this week. Dozens of autobiographical videos detailing how she lived with cancer are now fully silent, because of an ongoing licensing dispute between TikTok and Universal Music Group that shows, yet again, that the internet isn’t forever.”
