I'd agree in prinicpal, but if even 0.1% of LGR's 1M youtube followers try to show up one day, it'd be a Problem. More people going will create a bigger headache for the volunteers helping to deal with the situation and might end up in no one getting anything. There's some threshold where instead of "more people getting retrocomputers", it's "This is too much stress, so it's all going to a landfill". I've been overwhelmed trying to deal with my own collection sometimes; I can't imagine having 10-20x the space filled up would be like.
I doubt .1% of LGR's followers are going to show up. Perhaps a few will inquire.
It's way too easy to keep growing the collection (more space is expensive and stuff takes a lot more time to curate and organize than acquire) until
Right, and much of the younger generation is shut out of decent property ownership thanks to the asset bubble (which includes retrocomputers.) So this will curtail a lot of them from trying to aquire huge loads of old computers since they're presented with overpriced housing near the job centers. The half of the population profits from this thinks it's good for some reason. That's why a lot of people will watch it on youtube instead.
