Data storage

Is it possible the emergence of black data markets due to cloud storage overload?

I know network architecture well, but it is difficult to understand the terms, especially when it comes to hypothetical overloads or futurology.

In one popular startup series, the president of the company had a metaphor in his speech:
"The world's data warehouses will be exhausted by next spring, it will be a disaster: data scarcity, data quotas, data black markets" (Silicon Valley Season 2 episode 1 9:00)

Without going into in the details of the context, and the correctness of the translation, the question worries me:
Does the fear of the appearance of "black data markets" have a right to exist, not in the sense that stolen passwords or other personal information. I know it’s hard to imagine, but if you try to hypothetically imagine that there was a data shortage due to the appearance of some kind of super-torrents, super-Youtubes or a more gigantic, socially justified traffic-eating phenomenon, I generally understand quotas, understand other measures to eliminate the deficit, but even if we imagine the development of YouTube in the era of dialup, is it reasonable to believe that any shortcomings in storage or bandwidth could be eliminated by the emergence of these very black data markets?

Yes, now it is quite difficult to predict which path services, media, content will take, but the question is more philosophical

It is known that a hundred years ago the best minds of London thought: what threatens this city most of all, from what it can die? And everyone agreed that in fifty years London would perish from horse manure: it would fill London up to the second floors, there would be so many carriages that it would not be possible to have time to clean up the waste. Do you understand what I am talking about? You can talk about the future as much as you like, in any case we will be wrong. (with)

Now - connections.
Will be - conveyor highway (stream with slots for data).
It will provide both integrity, and accesses, and QoS with the help of its architecture alone.
No one will have any shortage: the same data can be taken from the stream at once by all users in need.

@Drno

the price of storage will simply grow
even taking into account. that already now any money is just paper or numbers in the database, which are not backed by anything) people work for free)
respectively, and the price of storage will not increase (maybe money = wrappers)
