Decentralized Web Concept - Summer 2016

https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/decentralize-now

By the end of that day, I had a vision of a very different web, a web of servers combining secure identification with shared publishing responsibility. Instead of posting files or data to "a web server" under my control, I'd just be publishing to the web (using identifiers linked to my identifiers), and letting the web sort out what goes where, optimizing its own storage and delivery structures. That architectural shift takes me into what feels like uncharted territory, but it is clearly technically and financially possible.

It's hazy to me how this works. Someone has to pay for the servers and manage them.
