Can't speak for Dat, but for IPFS, your content is alive so long as at least one node has the site pinned. (Think of it like seeders for a torrent)

- aklemm 9y agoWith torrents, long tail stuff frequently runs out of seeders, no?
- prophesi 9y agoYep! But there should hopefully be an efficient + cost-effective incentive for others to host your content when they implement FileCoin. Or you could just host it on your own devices, so long as you're okay with it only being reliably accessible so long as at least one device is up and running.
- thinkloop 9y agoThe difference with regular torrent seeders is that they have no incentive to seed once they have the content. In this case the main purpose and goal is to "seed" and provide content to others, so the long tail should be more resilient.
