  • shilling or not for something you use is one thing, I made my comment because this post has a guerilla marketing smell to it.

    it certainly educated me on their product and even tempted me to use it because of the real-life applications they provided. this is likely the “smell” that makes me distrust it.

    top it off, I hate cloudflare because of all the engineers that use it. the unsurmountable percentage of the internet that is entirely dependent on cloudflare staying up is frustratingly apparent (especially recently).






  • disagree. legally a government can forcefully take down a community but it’s far more difficult to police a physical ring of pirates.

    pirating in the late 90s early 2000s was mostly done through physical interaction. you could download content from places like Napster, limewire, etc, but the volume of which content spread the fastest was at LAN parties.

    I filled up a brand new 250gb drive after one LAN party in 2002. I still have all that content 23 years later.

    point is, if we could harness the power of a “trust” content sharing would run rampant.
