I am ass mad about Clock Man, because I was 100% certain it was a Czech cartoon I watched as a kid, but I dismissed it as my memory making shit up. Only for it to turn out to be the exact same Czech cartoon I remembered. I knew I should've followed my instincts. It probably would've been found MUCH sooner.

Depends on the person.
For me it's because old media is dying. Shit is being buried or actively destroyed, or even was destroyed years ago. I am seeing shit I used to watch utterly disappear from existence. Memories are the only thing that remains, but even that is unreliable. I've seen a lot of things across history disappear. We'll never find the other poems about the Trojan War, and with things like those, there's a lot about culture that remains unanswered. And that's a true tragedy. There's honestly some lost media that's not really worth caring about. But it's still worth preserving. Look at how quickly zoomers and later generations forget about what stuff was like back then.
As for other people, for other people it might just be sentimental value, nostalgia or maybe even the feeling of chasing after a mystery and uncovering something. That kind of shit, there's something primal about that too.
