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
GH is down every second day, yet we're still alive
