Which, unfortunately, is full of folks who don’t understand that the image disappears when no ones hosting it. People call the IPFS the “perma-web” and expect their content to be hosted in perpetuity for free.

Imaging paying for artwork and not downloading a copy because you think it’s archived. Poor art buyers.
