I agree it's interesting. What follows is not criticism of the author, but criticism of our society.

Prediction: at some point someone will want to censor something and blame the host. The host or hostname will be taken offline, even though it's not storing or distributing the content.

I consciously accepted the risks of my host being blacklisted or taken down when I shared this.

Luckily, the benefit of open source is that anyone can clone the repository and host any number of similar services if they are serious about using them for content distribution.

I don't mind if there are problems with the host since it will mean people are actually making use of the project.
