This is ridiculous. Any big enough palteforms such as Medium or Reuters will already partner with CDN, cloud firewalls, automatic provisioning, etc to handle traffic.
For small self-hosted blogs, authors can pay a CDN that will absorb any exceptional loads and almost cost nothing the rest of the time. Eventually the blog will go down for 24h and will be back online when things get calmer.
The idea of creating a hub that will be a central point is the opposite of distributed information.

- VoxPelli 8y agoFunny that Medium then decided to buy a company that was built around WebSub and was founded by one of the authors of the spec: https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/02/super-to-medium/ https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/02/super-to-medium/ Seems like they do find some use for it? (As does eg Google who has it as the preferred real-time deliver mechanism for sitemaps.)
