The Decentralization Hype Circus

How about just download all the data and then turn off the Internet. Don't even need any fancy blockchains technology or whatever. Just some big hard disks is good enough.

Jesus christ dude, we're talking about the future and you're still stuck on what normalfags are using.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Just because the majority does one thing doesn't mean other method are impossible, as I demonstrated. You can post a hash anywhere, it doesn't have to be on a centralized service. Host them on IPFS, Freenet, Tribler, wherever you want.
The people who use torrents are a minority in themselves, speaking about the majority of them seems arbitrary. If you're wondering how decentralized services will be used the majority doesn't matter, your average HTTP user doesn't know anything about CDNs but obviously take advantage of them, they don't know anything about TLS but use them just fine, the people who pull these technologies forward are obviously not users but developers of a service. If browser vendors decide to incorporate this tech and service providers take advantage of that then users will be using it, that's how it's always been, look at Javascript, Flash, HTML5, Web Sockets, WASM, et al.
Users didn't just decide to use javascript one day, the service providers and browser vendors did. The majority really doesn't matter, it's in the hands of a small team of developers.

What a disaster of a thread.

this, nuke this thread mods
we need to start anew

convincing normies to use torrents is already fucking hard, I can't even imagine the rest
Zig Forums is a bot board due to the lack of mods who give half a shit.
I believe the point user is trying to make is that while the torrent protocol is decentralized and the listing can be done on a decentralized manner, it is much more efficient and natural to perform this last task through a centralized institution: trackers to communicate peers, and torrent listings for the end user to pick from. Decentralizing this part of the process would imply that every client would somehow have to find the rest, wasting tons of computational power on that task.
