When I saw it being tested, I thought the vision was to store content on-chain and probably monetize it to generate revenue and buy pressure.

But this vision of storing a copy of your online existence on Web3 of digital footprint of Web2 platform, can help a lot. I heard how Satoshi’s identity was removed from the web. He was known by many forks, and suddenly his digital footprints were removed. In such cases, this is a good use case, as it would be much harder to remove someone’s identity or existence from Web2 for any shady reasons (web3 easy backup).

Thanks for explaining, it’s a bigger vision than what I imagined.

And yes, for some content, it’s hard to work with, like paywalled content on Medium, etc. Or some news sites that block scraping or use built-in checks so no one steals their content and makes AI-respun versions of it.

Looking forward to seeing what libraries we will build with it. Also, I think Antisocialist would be interested in this, as he wanted to store copies of some books on Hive, and this makes it easier.
