Relying entirely on a centralized server for data hosting? The risk is too great. Once the server crashes or faces censorship and bans, all your information could be lost. The emergence of distributed storage protocols has changed all this—by breaking files into pieces and dispersing them across various network nodes, even if some nodes go offline, data can still be quickly recovered, and the entire system remains continuously available. This is the true resilience that Web3 promises us—no reliance on any single point of failure, and data truly belongs to you.

Well said, finally someone dares to address this pain point --- The centralized system should have died long ago, really --- Distributed storage sounds great, but can it keep up with the speed? --- This is the true nature of Web3, not the hype about trading coins --- Data ownership is indeed important, but for ordinary people, it's still too complicated --- A centralized server can handle it? Dream on, it probably won't be on time next time --- This theory seems perfect, but how it actually works remains to be seen --- Finally, someone explained it clearly, all those previous explanations were nonsense

Well said, the centralized system has long deserved to die.

well, *actually* if you look at the incentive mechanisms, most nodes still go offline because nobody's properly compensating for storage redundancy. show me the formal proof this is actually more resilient than i-nodes on ext4 lol

This is the true meaning of Web3.
