State of distributed storage

With the various high bandwidth/storage requirements for sites that run on the Hive Blockchain, what do they use for storage?

I remember @novacadian posting a couple of pictures that were 100% stored on chain.

I'm curious if there are other solutions that use distributed storage projects where they are stored encrypted on other peoples spare space. I remember a few years ago there were projects that paid a token based on storage used, but it was very high latency then.

With connectivity and networking equipment getting lower latency on the prosumer level, I wonder if new distributed solutions would work for storing images, videos, etc.
