How would that work for the average user?
- wmf 3y agoI don't think users would notice but the IPFS network might collapse.
- janosdebugs 3y agoI think they would if the mobile phone app started uploading a bunch of content and eat into bandwidth and battery. If the app doesn't upload, we still have a centralized system with a very inefficient transport layer. Besides, even if you work around that problem somehow, YouTube has an insane amount of videos with very few views. That means there are not enough people to upload content, the centralized server or the original uploader needs to keep hosting them.
- rickydroll 3y agoif it did collapse from a YT clone, IPFS was not set up to handle what we really need it for, firehose science data sources.
