> Creating a decentralised web is extremely difficult

We’ve had it for years: tor’s .onion sites. And look how popular they are… when was the last time you visited one?

Technically, You could say Web2 sites are decentralized, by the way: most include JS, CSS, and images from different domains and servers.

Don't ask this kind of rhetorical question on HN - HN is exactly where you can find a lot of audience that can honestly answer this question with "today" or "yesterday". :-D

Pornhub's onion site is probably somewhere more regular than I'd like to admit.

I thought that it was frowned upon to use tor for high bandwidth uses like video ?
