As an outsider looking in IPFS will struggle to catch on with non technical people, like Tor. It can be the best thing ever for privacy, access, or whatever. It still won’t catch on. This is the Linux problem as explained by Torvald. The problem is that it isn’t unique enough from the existing experience and the problems it claims to solve aren’t something non technical people care about. Web distribution in its current form works. Even if it’s supremely shitty grandma can still post photos on Facebook. If a new distribution format wants to win it needs to be different in a way an 8 year old and grandma can equally understand. IPFS is not that. What 8 year olds and grandma equally understand is that content is king, the layman term for client/server model. More likely the future will purely be a focus on web technologies for application experiences and distribution. Kill the client/server model. If grandma wants to share photos with grandkids she doesn’t need Facebook at all. She only needs a network, a silent distribution/security model, and the right application interface. No server, no cloud, no third party required.
