I think he's referring to something like IPFS.

http://ipfs.io

You can put the storage costs on the nodes because storage at archive.org's scale adds up, especially when it's run by volunteers.

It looks like you could use IPFS to accomplish this without using a blockchain.

Isn't IPFS pretty closely tied with FileCoin?

It seems more accurate to say filecoin is tied to ipfs. IPFS itself is just another protocol. Maybe it is better suited to Blockchain applications that https? But it doesn't require blockchain at all to function. Filecoin does require a Blockchain.
