I'm guessing this is being downvoted because after all, for unpopular stuff, you're still going to be the one hosting your content.


If it is unpopular, then the resources required to host the content are manageable.

If it is popular, the IPFS users seed it to each other so your load is still manageable.


Good point!


But wouldn't it solve the problem of your server exploding during your sites 15 minutes of fame? So many users at once could use the P2P of IPFS and take load off the server.
