Yeah it was a bummer how long it took to play in that test. I agree that that is entirely too long to upload as far as user experience. People will just go somewhere else.

I was hoping it would be an easy way to make the network more secure though.. not gonna lie. Then just use the delegated stake to encourage people to run nodes etc.

But user experience is key, and that clearly won’t work in this case.

But I do think that you need some sort of back up.. even if it’s not decentralized. Relying on one provider is just asking for trouble imo, well at least if it’s being marketed as somewhere where content creators who are losing their work on YouTube should turn to instead.

Have you explored more about torrents and how that would work?

Also, any update on the FAQs? Perhaps just removing that they are stored on blockchain would be a good start. As I said - decentralized doesn’t have to be the goal, just don’t imply that’s what’s happening and I think all is well.
