HackerNews - DELETEs Are Difficult - Yes...but it goes even deeper.
It is also difficult for humans to delete information. In my humble and only a little facetious opinion this is one of the main drivers for ever new "To Do" apps: the existing app gets full because deleting is too hard, so we start fresh with a new app. The app isn't the point, the starting fresh is.
I understand now why I have 800+ bookmarks and counting

I've constantly thought of deleting the whole list and start over. At the same time I have some links that 'might' be useful later.
It's emotionally easy to add more and more, and it's tedious to decide what I should remove. I try to do a yearly cleanup of old data, and even acquaintances with whom I haven't spoken in over a year, although sometimes I don't have enough energy for that.
Based on the reading, I think it's a good idea to fight the FOMO with an auto-delete.
If it's it older than -let's say- 1 year, it'll be gone, unless you do something to 'refresh' your interest on it.
Let's see how it works!
