Use IPFS.

This doesn’t solve the problem at all. Many of the NFT sites are hosting their own IPFS and many of the images have already gone missing from the IPFS because no one is hosting that file still.

couldn't anyone else start hosting that content on IPFS, and the URL would resole to it? Since it's content-based addressing? (I don't have a great understanding of IPFS, I could be totally wrong)
