It's cheaper and freer so I think it's likely. Services like ipns://stealthhealth.crypto (access via Brave local IPFS node) have no server costs, no domain registration maintenance costs, no banking costs and no obvious vulnerabilities for shut down or data leakage.

Do you really think whatever this is, is going to take off?

  Maybe not this iteration, but could something similar in general take off several iterations from now? Maybe Edit: Someone listed two examples inc Geocities but deleted their comment as examples of Web2 options. These work (although now defunct) by sticking ads down people’s throats. Tokens let you work out other ways to incentivize people to host them than the normal ad revenue model.

Cheaper? It runs on regular computers, just inefficiently. If that somehow turns out to be cheaper, perhaps it can be used to power a perpetual motion device.

  Would you prefer "shared" server cost? It's negligible relatively.
