Alright, you win the debate and that's a pretty thorough demolishing of Zero-net. At the very fucking least, because this debate has been raging for over a year, they should have an option to not download media files on purpose. To skip over images in content.json. Or when you browse, don't download and re-serve that shit by default.

ZN seems to be designed for static sites, making it a bad fit for social sites and sites with user uploads from the get go.

Zero-net is an answer, but i'm not sure what the question is

All I can think of is it's a decent way to share huge archives or wikipedia type stuff in a world without DNS? I'm not sure what it's solving either. Maybe it's modernizing "offline" web pages and there's some positive lessons to be learned.
