that's an interesting take, I'm curious to what a pricing model for a setup like that could look like at an enterprise tier

I could see stuff like how some B2C things sell stuff like PDF, videos, tutorials, at a flat-fee, but usually B2B enterprise ends up with a metered pricing so negotiating that could end up with many dynamic urls which sounds like a giant mapping table on top of the protocol

I'm thinking along the lines of wikis, archival projects, and yeah pay-per-view video/photo websites. Torrents only work for static data and aren't very performant.

This is a fair way to allow AI scraping too: you can let bots scrape as much as they like, as long as they cover the cost of serving that content. The bots don't have to enter payment information into every website they want to scrape.
