[17:33] <joepie91> so like, the big problem with IPFS-based things is that nobody feels responsible for maintaining availability
[17:33] <joepie91> which is fine for popular things like torrents with thousands of seeds
[17:33] <joepie91> but not for small/uncommon things
[17:33] <joepie91> there's no central server with a backup regime which is responsible for availability
[17:33] <joepie91> in one way, that is a feature
[17:34] <joepie91> but in another way, it means that none of the peers are likely to have a similar availability regime or guarantee
[17:34] <joepie91> because everybody thinks "oh, it's distributed, I can just rely on the other peers"
[17:34] <joepie91> it's a game theory problem really, and unless it's solved, this trend of building everything on top of IPFS is going to result in *massive* data loss in the next 2-3 years

<cinebox>karkat: You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on it's back. The tortoise lays on it's back, it's belly baking in the hot sun, beating it's legs trying to turn it'self over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
