I wonder, is it possible that something like this may happen after beginning of the internet era?

Like this. Year 2050, some guy accidentally discovers an abandoned site, which is created in 2010. There is a blog, which sparks this future anonymous guy's interst. The guy discovers a link to instagram on this , and then finds out that this website was quite popular back in 2010s, but gone defunct in 2020s. The full photo archive is available though. Curious, this guy downloads the whole archive and encounter amazing photo collection of cats and food on this account. The copyright law is different in 2050, so the guy decides to sell pictures on an world-wide digital auction...

Or maybe it will be no different: a real estate agent finds a small box filled with SD cards and then sells it on a local auction.
