As an aside, I think newer p2p oriented technologies will slowly improve the "pro bono" culture. When we can all host a site with a good UX, easily, that can handle reddit level traffic for free.. the model changes a lot.

Tech like IPFS could make the world a very interesting place.

I hope so. I'm following the development of IPFS closely. In fact, sillysaurus3's subthread about Twitch[0] made me think that maybe something IPFS-like (e.g. the libp2p that powers it) could be used for video streaming, making a streamer independent of big companies subsidizing bandwidth. I'm very hopeful for more developments in this area.
