For example, if I join the network and download a recipe for chicken soup, I'll start making connections to other peers that share chicken soup recipes. It will become easier for me to download similar files, without getting any easier to download dissimilar files.
The more people trust you,the easier it becomes to download diverse files. Thus the longer your history of good behavior ...
The problem with bittorrent is that it has no memory. A bittorrent client asks "what have you done for me lately". Thus, though there are good incentives to provide bandwidth, there are no incentives to provide storage. Thus, stuff is not seeded.
Another problem with bittorrent is that it has no means to search for human meaningful terms. For search to work, peers need an incentive to provide useful and truthful metadata about data.
