Well, I'd like to challenge some of those. I believe they're wrong in one form or another. > If you want a website, you need to register with a DNS provider. Or use Tor and set up a hidden service and run your content. In conjunction, there are onion loadbalancers available. It's not super-fast, but it absolutely is publishing your own webpage. And it completely bypasses the ICANN DNS. > If you want to get word out about your website, you need twitter and facebook. Yeah, and Google, and friends. That's a hard one. >If you want to make a video that people will find, you need youtube. >If you say something controversial and want to keep from DDOS'd, you need cloudflare. I'd argue that no, you don't. The only reason those tools exist is because we can't easily amplify our bandwidth to match demand. But in reality, there is a tool that does work. IPFS does that thing. The more people that hit a site, the faster the cloud can respond to queries. And being a dHT, can semi-partition bad actors so that good actors can still effectively provide content fast. I was doing streaming video with IPFS back in the .31 beta days, and it went linespeed (900Mbps) from computer to computer. It's lightyears ahead now, and includes more features like MQQT message-like protocol and other things built in.
