Oddly enough I am not utterly opposed to this idea, at least generally. This would be a good mechanism to decentralize cloud storage for example. I also would like to see similar mechanisms for other data, such as facial recognition, surveillance footage, and etc., that civilians can employ to leverage their access to technology currently only available to institutional (tyrannical) actors.
Anything we can do to further resist the global panopticon, increase decentralization, and decrease censorship is a good thing. The question is, will this type of mechanism do those things?
If it will defeat Article 13, I'm in.
Thanks!

Come on, I doubt Article 13 has been written with the intention you think it has. But that is anyway a different topic. :-)
Coming back to Steembit, I believe it is quite fraught with (business, not political) risk ... Not sure the economics are easy to pull out ... As @sneak says, storage is really cheap ... If it doesn't work, it would be yet another revolution foiled because "the revolutionaries" had to get back to work in order to get a salary and put bread on the table ...
