> Could you give me a little insight into your use case?

I'm not the OP but a use case I might find useful is if you have a blog, want to comment on a news article, and want to have a cached copy of that news article. Since web pages often go way after some time, making sure the news article stays up might be useful. This is particularly true if the entity writing the news article decides it is embarrasing to them and wants to flush it down a memory hole.

In addition, you could continue to reference that cached article even when you go offline - so pinning it to your local node effectively makes it available to any of your locally connected devices without needing to ping a distant server (aka - you can take your entire "toread" stack camping without one-off planning =] )
