There can still be value in some old things like maintaining old equipment or preserving old media. The demand may have collapsed, but it didn’t collapse to zero.
The less something is available, the more it is worth.
Capitalist propaganda. Rare garbage is still garbage. The desire has to be there and often isn’t. But capitalist ideas say you have to hoard for potential.

That seems the exact opposite of capitalism? I would assume capitalist propaganda encourages you to throw away old things and buy new. Preserving old things is antithetical to that
