Most distributed systems simply don't live up to their theory. Having a hub is simply always easier and consumers hopping temporally from hub to hub is just the most efficient mechanism.

Agreed. The idea behind IPFS is nice but we need to combine it with all the good lessons from the torrent software and stuff like NNCP in order to have something truly distributed, resilient, fault-tolerant and automatically replicated.
