Isn't this a failure of IPFS that you can't reliably get to the content even though you know it's address?

Yeah, that's what I'd like to know.

Being a total noob I enjoyed the article (thanks OP) then went on to wonder how this works. So first I thought it was available through all of these gateways, but then I read something about pinning - do the gateways pin the content? Or the "hosting nodes" (forgive my lack of knowledge about the terminology)?
