I upload things to IPFS frequently, and often come back weeks later to find they're still up, even when my computer is offline and I haven't shared them widely.
Who's seeding them in these cases? I have no idea. Might be some big tech company that scours IPFS and autoseeds everything.

That's what I'm getting at, who is making it happen at the end of the day? I don't know a lot about IPFS, but it seems that the ipfs.pics project is footing the bill and ensuring that all of their images stay up (centralization).
But even if IPFS is not a silver bullet for this SaidIt use case, other advantages may make it worth it and mean that we should use it as our approach. Hopefully an expert will pop up in here and set us straight.

I have two basic motivations for the proposal:
Low-cost, decentralised hosting. As you say, this raises some questions, and someone needs to be there to hold the baby.
Censorship-resistance, which is the bigger motivation

Thank you for the suggestion! I don't mean to doubt your motivations. Just trying to figure out all of this new tech. And the reasons you listed are great ones and valuable to SaidIt.

Right. Part of the ethos here is censorship-resistance, I believe.
