I have seen this in the past year with two videos in particular.
The most recent one I watched beginning to the end - it stayed on a video hosting site for weeks.. then one day I found the page saying 'taken down for hate speech' - I don't recall any kind of calls to hate - if there were, I would think they could of edited part of the vid and still left up the main gist of info.. like they do with song copyright complaints in techno mixes...
Anyhow - some people likely believe that some videos / news stories / files are important enough for people to have access to that they would likely chip in some coins to keep them accessible I'm sure - I would even say there is and will continue to be more of need for further distributed / multiple backups (some available in some countries and not others for example) and people will certainly be willing to pay and others will to host - to get around bans in certain countries for example.
I hope there will be a filecoin option or other options for the world to push multiple copies to multiple countries so when access is denied in one place and file removal is demanded in another - that there would be the possibility that people could access from a third place via a 4th place that kept access available.
No idea how all that would come to fruition, perhaps it's already been figured out with torrents or peertubes or similar things, I have not researched that aspect.
But I have been seeing more and more censorship in more and more places the past few years - and it appears gov's and other interested groups are ramping up for more, not less - so the need will be increasing more and more in most parts of the world I am guessing.
I also imagine there is a desire in some neighborhoods to be able to share videos and other files with the community that would be censored by news portals and national hosts - if a secure scuttlebut meets filecoin crosses with some sort of non-accessible via internet - and only shared via bluetooth / wifi / and limits on bandwidth taken kind of thing is out there I think we'll see more use and need of such a thing as well.
