Blog-ish websites are unreliable even when they have real hosting. If you put it on someone's laptop it gets so much worse. To me, the reliability boost is the killer feature of IPFS.

> You don't really need a globally addressable immutable file storage, because unless you're dealing with static images, a lot of files DO change all the time, and people want to store and share files privately.

While it boosts reliability, IPFS is not globally immutable. If you share a file with a limited scope, it won't stick around forever.

Though from a quick search you can't easily keep a file private, that's not great.
