Hmm, the original comment was:

A web filled with DDOS attacks and scraping is a web that needs cloudflare and fastly. I’m not sure how to avoid this sorry state of things.

I2P doesn’t seem like an immediate solution -- maybe it can resist DDOS, but at the cost of losing fast, easily-accessible, easily-searchable public websites, no? Could Starbucks host their website on I2P, to pick a random example? Seems like a bunch more infrastructure would be needed first.

I2P is simply an alternative web. Yes, it's slower, but everything else works in the same way as in the clearnet. You have readable names of the websites, you have search engines there. It looks like the web from the 90s.

Yes, they definitely can. Which additional infrastructure is needed? I tried to host websites there myself. Did not see any problems.
