IPFS was made by Protocol Labs which made Filecoin, which is a blockchain incentivized decentralized storage network that leverages IPFS as a first class primitive. Yes IPFS can work with centralized services and existing cloud infrastructure as well but that's not the vision that Protocol Labs has.

- fragmede 5y agoThey still could, but getting money to content creators hasn't been a strong suit of the Internet up until now and part of the point of all this decentralization is tha it makes it easier for money to move around, finally allowing for micropayments, an early Internet idea that's never managed to come to fruition due to user friction. Whether they take off this time we'll have to see.
