Is it worth purging online stuff? (lemmygrad.ml)

I have way too many photos (9.9k), mostly memes, mostly which I will never see again. I have way too many musical artists in my library. For a long time I added practically every song I heard (and more albums from the same artists). All of this is on Apple. Is it worth going through and purging it (especially when the internet’s dying anyway and who knows what infrastructure we’ll have in five years or more)? Any advice for de-appleing for someone whose hyperfixations do not include computer nerd stuff?

About the infrastructure, I mean the internet is heavily subsidized and unprofitable for most of the people involved. With climate change and economic crises etc things are becoming more unstable and I wouldn’t be surprised if the internet is harmed.

I already have a few lists. I just think photos and music would take a long time to go through especially if I switch to a different platform.
