Hoarding is collecting without curation, organization, or pruning.

Instead of filling a house, now you can fill a hard drive. At least you don't leave a huge physical mess for the kids when you pass... but sorting through all the files isn't a nice mess to leave either.

Seems very judgmental. Try collecting coins digitally.
