Best answer: most of the internet. The web inevitably dissolves into link rot.

You really need to defrag.

In a decade, twitter will only exist in an archive somewhere, just like all those defunct forums you spent time in back in 2005. Almost every external link will have broken, etc.

People will go spelunking through abandoned social media, algorithmically piecing together what the space looked like when humans inhabited it, trying to imagine it at its peak of activity

Teens will go through a defunct site their parents recall with nostalgia, and draw the Cool S and dicks everywhere.

Sometimes a security guard will chase them away, or they'll knock over a crumbling support beam and collapse a whole section by accident

People will be like "this place was once used by over 2 billion people an hour. Let me tell you about the fashionable but illegal monkey."

Urban explorers, jacking in to look at defunct sites snapshotted at the moment of their death, infested with bots and advertising, unable to identify what was vandalism and what was intended use

"Wow, these vandals fucking suck," they say of advertising popups that cover all but one line. "Who would do this to a site?"

Facebook already feels like a dying mall, so yeah.
