Digital Howard 

An obscure magician’s misdirect. Dates back to the late 1800’s, invented by William Radley and named after famed magician Howard Thurston. Involved creating a spectacle to draw people’s attention, and then using deft pickpocketing skills (digits) to nick as many valuables as possible while people were distracted.

Digital-hoarder 

Collecting digital media for the sake of collecting it, not watching and/or listening to it. Accumulating titles that you have no interest in, no intent of using for entertainment and no desire to do anything with except just possessing it.

Digital Hoarding 

The practice of never deleting a file from online archive; one who practice digital hoarding must do so without guilt or fear from reprisal. They just buy more space.
Itʻs a good thing I practice digital hoarding, otherwise I would never have been able to find that document from 2006.
