This has been mentioned in one or two comments, and ipfs specifically. I do think this (decentralization) is the larger goal, but I'm not sure what, if anything, is up for this challenge yet. I do think that relying on external hosts provides some level of decentralization as they become a dependency and gather, at least, social obligations. Additionally, since a large service like YouTube is already hosting this kind of content, but also tons of other, unrelated content, it would be much harder to outright shutdown. I do think the media files need to be duplicated widely though and I would be very interested to read more about how ipfs or another distributed storage solution could work for this project.
