Thanks for the feedback. I get your point there. It feels much different though. A tab open is completely read only, and they are not aggregating your content. I guess I just don’t like the idea of seeding my content and not knowing who or what the the “seeders” might also be involved with. I guess purely an ethical concern/decision on my part in likely choosing never to use a seeding technology to serve my content.

That almost seems like a slippery slope. I mean, your site’s content could now just end up sitting on some CDN server or proxy alongside something nefarious, without IPFS and you’d have no idea.

I’d have the same objection if the seeder was voluntarily choosing what to seed for that express purpose, but I don’t know that it should apply if the seeding is just an automatic part of how the network operates underneath.
