For backup, I do a manual data export across various online sites every few months. And some of them heavily nerf the data.

Example: my Netflix data exports from two years ago include much more detail than the recent ones. Netflix is just now providing overall less details.

I wish someone would keep track of this, I hate when an internal policy change affects what data you can actually retrieve.

It's why I don't delete some of my accounts when I think I might be able to get more data in the future from some company
