Not really: > Every time someone downloads a book from a shadow library like Library Genesis, it's through IPFS most of the time I would like to see evidence this is actually true. My theory is that IPFS's "success" in hosting Libgen is roughly turning ICO proceeds into free hosting. Paying for dedicated servers might have been more cost efficient and, given the performance issues, more robust!
