IPFS focuses on representing and addressing data, routing it, and transferring it. It's not a storage service, though storage is necessary to use it. It's beenfrom academics in France, Germany, and the UK observed"that almost 80 percent of the IPFS DHT servers are hosted in the cloud with the top three cloud providers hosting 51.9 percent of the servers." It's further claimed that AWS provides 96 percent of all the content resolution requests.

So, it used to be that if you were anywhere near blockchain, people would go like,"Oh, terrible, go away." Now people are starting to realize that what has been lumped , even just on the blockchain end of things, contains all sorts of different communities. Sure, you have like shitcoins and all that stuff, but you also have people experimenting with and people trying to really build new government systems and new ways of sharing and new ways of doing coops.

We're starting to see a lot of usage here and there with these bits and pieces. For instance, Bluesky is pretty popular these days. And in the AT Protocol they use quite a few of these pieces. They use CIDs , they use IPLD, and I think that's something that we're leaning into quite a lot because that is popular with developers.If you're using relatively naive approaches, it can be slow.

If you think of how search or social or all those ad supported models work today, the idea really is that you have to go to this central authority and get not just one service but actually a bundle of services. You're getting a list of social media posts, you're getting a list of search engine results, but bundled with that, you're also getting the relevance decided for you – they have been rated and they have been ranked. They have been ordered for you.

And so I think any economic system that shifts power towards users is one that matches IPFS principles and the IPFS architecture really well. And I'm working on bringing about the world in which that's the case.At this particular moment in time, when misinformation is rampant, it seems like authority of some sort has more value than ever, to filter harmful content.
