forgive me if this is totally naive;

Woud you say that there is a way where a truly distributed content-centric system could be build, sort-of around this whereby the following wouldd be true:

Assume there is a commonly massive shared set of content. Users have resource pools (money, storage, bandwidth, whatever) -- all apply some slice of their resource pool into the system and then all users are contributing to the servicing of content that is globally accessed by the group as a whole.

All "static" or mundanely common assets are served from this resource pool.

The regular pinning and seeding applies to all other "niche" content.

as more users access/gain interest into that niche content, the more resource units it receives?
