One monetization strategy in general for distributed networks is that users pay for bandwidth. They&#x27;re rewarded for the bandwidth they provide. They profit if they provide more bandwidth than they use. And app developers are rewarded when their apps cause bandwidth to be used. I don&#x27;t know if IPFS works this way.<p>As far as paying a premium over raw bandwidth to access premium content (Netflix), you could pay them to unencrypt it for you to download. DRM though isn&#x27;t secure in the first place and decentralization won&#x27;t make it better.
