You would still depend on the constant availability of an origin for your data. IPFS is not magic in that regard: if whoever is your origin disappears, then your data is likely to disappear at some point, especially if it's not super popular. There is no free lunch: you either become your origin yourself, or you pay someone else to be.

Though : would that lunch be as expensive as $10 per month or would it be almost free like $0.1 per year ? I consider that to be pretty much free :)

Here's a pricing example: https://www.keycdn.com/pricing

Sadly no. The ads I get are largely for things I don't want. Occasionally they are good or interesting, but usually no. I wish more ad providers had a way to say "please show me more ads like this." Better yet, I wish there was one that had a box where I could just type random complaints about my life and over time it would show me ads for products that might be relevant.

Google says they explicitly don’t use web-browsing data for ad targeting. They don’t say that they don’t use web-browsing data to improve your experience with their various recommendation/prediction/autocomplete APIs. So there’s no guarantee that bad ad targeting implies YouTube doesn’t have a better profile on you.

I’m order to square these requirements, they would just have to use your browsing data to target you with the version of the instructional video which always plays relevant ads to you

> Maybe you noticed how much advertisment squarespace...do I would intuitively estimate that about 15% of educational youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.

Actually I would estimate 15% of all youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.

Podcasts too

This is the kind of thing I wish I thought of right when I saw it. These naysayers are silly. The amount of investment you put into it will undoubtedly be offset by the passive income you generate with it, not to mention the fun/learning you did while building it.

Thanks a lot for your kind words! And you're right, it was a fun experience just to build it, if I can make some money from it - even better!

I suspect the percentage of podcasts sponsored by squarespace is probably even higher than that

if the page builder is able to export to something like Gatsby or Hugo templates, then that eases the fear of lockin

Since it is just 1 page, I think you should be able to just save the source with all the dependencies and then host it somewhere else afterwards

wget will do that for you nicely, also. I've used it to make static archives of fairly complex Drupal-based sites, so a one-pager should be a breeze.
