I agree with your concerns, but wow do I miss the 1990s/2000s era of the internet. Things were so much more fun then.
Perhaps a 'mirror to S3-compatible store' feature would address these concerns though. Sure it is extra cost, but it would be a nice de-risking option for early adopters.

Yeah in one way people were much more casual and curious. But keep in mind everything back then were monoliths. You’d just upload files to your server. Some of the complications of trust comes from the fact that you need microservices with custom API credentials and usage quotas in order to run leftpad at web scale.
If you zoom out and think where we are today it’s absolutely insane that uploading a file 20 years later is a closed source subscription service. Nothing against OPs project, but goddamn look at us.
