Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it totally different from a large organization seeding a torrent, because everyone downloading data from them is also likely seeding the torrent too while downloading it, while anyone using the gateway is not also storing any info on their machines?
Won't this gateway make it less likely to have some sort of p2p app take off, because why help out peers at your expense when you can get what you want from Cloudflare at no expense? Or maybe I'm looking at IPFS wrong - I interpret it as something meant to become popular (meaning much more non-programmers would use it than programmers), but I suppose if it remains a small community like torrenting, then it could remain effectively decentralized despite Cloudflare's gateway, because of how many users are being peers instead of solely leaching
