This time I don't want to use the old routine—talk about technology, tokens, and risks. Honestly, that kind of approach is exhausting for both readers and myself. Let's look at it from a different perspective: as a content creator, consider Walrus.
I believe you've probably experienced this: a bunch of folders on your computer with names so messy you can't find anything after six months, even though you stored the materials there. Or you painstakingly upload something to a platform, only to have the platform change its rules, and your link becomes dead or completely useless. Even worse, if your account gets frozen, your content disappears along with it. In Web2, this is all too normal—everyone silently accepts it.
But here’s the problem: once you start viewing your content, credentials, and identity records as assets, this uncertainty truly becomes a risk.
As this thought crossed my mind, I suddenly felt that Walrus might be understood too superficially. It’s not just about helping you store files; it’s actually about adding a fundamental element to the on-chain world—a long-term, verifiable sense of content existence. In other words, it’s a storage method that isn’t swayed by platform moods.
It might sound a bit abstract, but what I’m talking about is a very practical need. In the future, a lot of things will need to be proven: which events you attended, what identities you held, what you have created. These credentials need to exist long-term, be verifiable, and not disappear because of a centralized platform’s decision. That’s the real problem Walrus is solving.

Having your platform account frozen is really the worst. A friend's content library was just lost like that before.

Damn, someone finally explained it clearly. I was completely confused when I first saw Walrus.
The permanence of content is indeed a killer feature, not afraid of platforms turning hostile.
Getting my account frozen before was truly despairing... Now thinking about it, Walrus's logic is really ruthless.
Web3 has finally filled the gap in storage, no hype, no blackening.
This is true data sovereignty, thumbs up.

To be honest, this perspective is indeed fresh... It's not just another repetition of the old tokenomics talk. I respect the logic of assetizing content, and the risk of Web2 being wiped out at any time is really frustrating. But how is Walrus's sustainability guaranteed? Are there any cases of storage incentives that can sustain long-term stability?

I've truly experienced the platform freezing accounts before. The materials stored for half a year were gone instantly. Looking back, Walrus's logic really managed to hit a nerve with me.

There's nothing wrong with what you said. The Web2 system is indeed annoying; once your account is frozen, it's all gone. But can Walrus really stay strong for a hundred years? That's the key.
