I am not dead yet, but I am happy that people are doing this. The more things built on IPFS the more people will learn it doesn't work and stop hoping it will solve all problems.

the whole IPFS premise of distributed, always online content is a facade. the system depends on pinning servers for that to work which is ultimately a centralzing force.

to successfully use IPFS you must either host your own pinning servers or pay to use a 3rd party. otherwise your content is stored on end user devices and automatically garbage collected.

so in practice most apps built on IPFS storage simply offload the data to 3rd party providers like “web3.storage” and “infura”, right along all those cool monkey pics.

in summary: there is no free lunch for content storage on the internet.

That's not the actual problem. It would be great if it worked with pinning servers.
