I very much agree ;) But I think a lot of hosting is still provided via commodity cloud architecture. Whether its truly decentralized under stress remains to be tested.
There was a flurry of articles in Summer 2018 about how FOSTA was encouraging sex workers to use Switter and Bitcoin. I think they are probably still using Twitter / Instagram / CashApp instead. In lieu of outside oppressive pressure, most folks won't have a compelling reason other than ethics.
And therein lies the rub. These platforms need to get easier for regular people to use. You could even imagine a broker service, where you just hit submit on a piece of digital content, its data type is detected automatically, and its stored on the appropriate service. You are returned a persistent URL that can be embedded anywhere. And you earn revenue for content consumed and / or compute resources provided. Like providing liquidity to an exchange.
