Reading a whitepaper isn't the first time you truly understand why decentralized storage is important. It occurs when a minor but significant event occurs in real life. When a creator awakens, years' worth of videos have been deleted due to an automated system flagging the incorrect term. A billing issue causes a startup to lose access to a cloud bucket. Following a platform policy modification, a community archive vanishes. The majority of Web3 apps still rely on centralized storage for the data that truly makes them useable, such as photos, metadata, frontends, documents, AI datasets, and media files, even though we talk about decentralizing money in crypto all the time. Although the chain may be decentralized, the application's "data body" is frequently stored on the servers of a single corporation.
