That's "how it works", not "what it can be used for". Regular websites can be designed to handle high traffic. Regular websites can make backups.

What new thing does ipfs make possible that would make users install the software to use it?

Nothing has any advantage except the advantages it has. I don't want to repeat everything I said in the last post, but what you mentioned isn't a counterargument to any of what I detailed.

If you're not going to answer a question, don't bother replying.

IPFS lets them not have to.

> Regular websites can make backups

Backups don't help when the company shuts down and takes the site down.

"Think of all the Geocities sites (and all versions of them) just existing for ever, regardless if Geocities decided to shut down."

I don't think you even read my post.

Again. If you're not going to bother to answer the specific question I asked, do not bother replying.

It looks like you aren't even reading my replies. I feel lonely.
