RE: Pin Your Dtube Hashes & A Name Change! | Update #008

I see now, but people can't watch the video for ever and can't download files for ever. Why ipfs don't work better than youtube or google drive or any other website that can hold files forever ?
Is the reason behind that is because not a lot of people share the space with ipfs ?

    With YouTube, access is dependent on a single centralized entity continuing to provide access. With IPFS future access only requires any entity, not necessarily its creator, to be hosting the content.

    This is why this project exists, so videos will stay live forever.

    I believe it's just a lack of nodes pinning files on IPFS
