Integrity of long-term storage is certainly an issue; I have a number of old recordable CD data disks that are no longer accessible.  Following this thread, I dug out some old compact flash cards that are over twenty years old and have not been accessed during that time.  I put them into a card reader and found all the images and videos were intact; images from 2004-5 from an early Nikon digital camera. Checked out five cards and all were readable.  Now to dig out an old digital camera that supports Compact Flash cards and see if the things are still fully operational. Time to get into the attic...
