I know that this will most likely never happen, but if we manage to somehow find and recover every piece of lost media (or at least all of the important ones) then what do we do afterwards?
If all of the important ones get found, then we will search for obscurer ones. But if every lost media gets found, another will get lost (such as an youtube channel deleting all of their videos)

I mean, I think that’s gonna be the case, something else will become lost. Not that this will happen, since there’s so many different pieces of lost media out there, some just don’t exist anymore and can never possibly be found, while other are way too wrapped up in legal details to be worth finding.
Yeah, and I feel like "lost fan media" in particular will never completely die. There will always be new fan media going up and being taken down, being lost and being recovered, for a host of reasons.

I mean, more media would eventually become lost, certain companies get careless with archiving and youtube videos get deleted near-daily, even entire channels, so I think it would be hard to just, like, run out of things to find
Lost media will never end because there is always and always will be media that isn't preserved. There will always be another Clockman, where someone remembers something that can't be found, another Everyone Knows That, where someone finds an odd song no one knows, or another You Better Don't, a commercial that aired a couple times a bunch of people remember but has been buried due to embarrassment.
