Thanks for clarifying that; I wasn't sure about the actual host, sounds more like steemit is intrinsically self-hosted then making my point moot.

I like the idea of IPFS, but is one of those things that needs wide adoption to attract wide adoption... I would expect initial growth to be slow. Once people start getting dinged for acting as a server node, that might detract some users.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying my error.
