I care about making things available to other people. My initial attraction to IPFS was that it looked like it could help me do that - but then I learned that just publishing a file to IPFS doesn't permanently solve that problem for me.

It solves caching/distribution, but it doesn't solve make-this-thing-available.

I've been using and paying for S3 for this purpose for 15+ years. I was hoping IPFS could offer a better alternative, but I don't think it does.

I might consider IPFS in the future if I need to distribute a prohibitively large file and my target audience are the kind of people who can access IPFS.
