Oh trust me, I'm no IPFS maxi. But yeah, it's commonly mistaken for a storage service, so people often publish files without actual actually making sure it's stored (aka pinned) on a server somewhere. As a result their files disappear from the cache and fail to load.
There are lots of examples of IPFS working great when used correctly (i.e. making sure the content is pinned somewhere). Which is where Blossom + IPFS might be interesting... Blossom media servers could pin the files and IPFS could distribute those files very efficiently.
In fact, since IPFS would take nearly 100% of the bandwidth burden, the Blossom servers could be any low cost devices self hosted at home by enthusiasts without worrying about getting DOS'd when their meme goes viral.
