I don't know the answer but I'll share a short real story. We made (me and others) the ENS+IPFS website almonit.eth in 2019. You can access it with a web3 browser or a gateway (almonit.eth.limo). For a long while I was pinning it in IPFS with my server, but in March this year the project stopped so I killed my daemon. However(!) -- since the website is so popular, it actually still now, 7 months later, though there is no one pinning it really. It just lives on the fumes of its popularity. I honestly wonder how long it will continue.
