If IPFS hosts were paid in sats for staking their storage/network capacities then IPFS would have the right incentives.
Yeah and it's super unclear how long you are guaranteed that storage for. A year? 5 years? One month?
What we need is a layer on top of IPFS that provides a marketplace for selling/buying storage and/or throughput.
Isn't that what Filecoin is supposed to be? The problem of course is that nobody wants to buy that shit coin. No reason to not just use Bitcoin.

As the advertiser of the content you'd be buying a commitment from a pool of hosts, like an LN channel, if you stop hosting before the time expires you'd be penalized? Or the hosts get paid by the pool as long as they host it?
Problem with Filecoin is that it isn't Bitcoin.
