Well it’s not just that. Compared to other p2p alternatives, IPFS have been early on very honest that they want to develop a cryptocurrency filecoin. It’s in my view a very wrong answer to a very real problem, but at least i appreciate they made the software actually usable without filecoin. But i’m not entirely convinced by what seems to an initiative fueled by Silicon Valley / Venture Capital money from an outsider’s perspective (i don’t know the devs personally so i don’t want to assume they have bad intentions).
it’s a classic dilemma of more/less privacy to reach less/more people
it’s the reason they’re trying to change things
