#4I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, ..., even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting so many eggs in one basket.

#8I don’t know the technical issues but it doesn’t seem prudent for a business to have a single point of failure.

#9This is exactly why IPFS is needed! Decentralized CDN.
Last I checked, IPFS still leaks the IPs of hosters, so it's a no-go for a CDN if an attacker can just DDoS the target to take them offline (and oops, then IPFS can't help if new content isn't being pushed into some provider).
IPFS needs anonymous peering or it's not going to be a decentralized CDN, only a decentralized load balancer for static assets.
