    13 billions for something that if disappeared overnight, it would be just a mildly inconvenience and replaced by a 1:1 competitor in less than a day?

      Mild inconvenience? HF hosts millions of models and datasets, that would be a huge loss and break all software that depends on it

      Competitors (like ModelScope) already exist but are rarely used outside of China
