To be honest... the solution is only storage decentralization to be included on the blockchain code. I know... a big F problem to solve but in the long term the only valuable one.
There are already many blockchains techs trying to solve that "problem". Even if not everyone can participate with the same kind of gear, finding an alternative so that small fish can help the blockchain on one of the most community based and extensive blockchains in the entire world, is a MUST!
I have fortunately lots of skills and hardware that I could just run a couple of nodes if I wished so. I even had done that in the past while on STEEM, on EOS, and then I stopped. Because I saw some promising path being planned for distributed DB storage into the blockchain part. I don't care much about the API yet query capacity yet... that one can be centralized easily because it can be "rebuilt".
But the core function of a blockchain, if centralized, by itself is not scalable. Bitcoin fails at that... or by any means any sort of PoW or PoS that relies on database consensus for forking reasons.
Yes there are other techs that solve these problems, but they lack other stuff... so its always a balance. The point is, on an already proven for years code, the next step needs to take place if we wish to compete with things like Google, Twitter, etc... And that SHOULD be what the community should be aiming for!
We are already out of the charts in terms of historical breakthroughs... so why struggle with just "surviving?"...
