I dunno about self hosting on your machine but I’m not opposed to an idea where if you have files to share on a server, you have to provide storage for parts of other files up to a certain percent of the space you use. Or, something like… you have 20gb, you’re only using 5gb, so 15gb are free for the network. If you start using more locally, it opens up space for you to use by clearing shared files. If that makes sense?
