Beyond your ad-hominem criticism on Neiman. I have used IPFS professionally and it is very slow. This issue is well known and gives an objective metric for the tool beyond idealisms. Extremely easy to check: [1] [2].

BTW, I come out with the paper "Is IPFS Ready for Decentralized Video Streaming?" [3] that could be an interesting read.

What a bizarre thing to say.

Neiman is a friend and inspiration. I specifically said I’m lucky to know him personally.

Calling him an idealist isn’t an attack, it’s admirable.

IPFS is fine for hosting blogs and static websites, I have 50 IPFS websites using a pinning service neiman cofounded. However, his blog post speaks for itself and his considerations are greater than whether IPFS/IPNS can host a blog.

Nice work on your paper.
